Cool, you'll love it. Here's a video of our track on a sunny summer day, you can see the sensor bridge we are using.

There's 9 sensors attached to it with velcro and the bridge is easy to setup and carry (breaks down into 3 pieces), plus it's pretty tough (it's secured on both sides by 2mm steel cables and that keeps it firmly in place) we've had some bad crashes but the bridge is solid as a rock.

It's been great, temps of 91+ F in the summer with a crazy 130F temps on the asphalt during the hottest hours and not a single fault from the sensors. And when we've experienced a miss it is either the driver's fault for not installing the transponder properly or the little ethernet cables between sensors not being plugged all the way, easy to solve once you remember to check everything once the bridge is installed.
