Automatic Car Race - Press a Button and Bet on the Winner!

Description
Press a button and watch the cars race by themselves! Bet on your favorite with your friends.

Created by Steve's Makerspace with custom randomizer built by Tetrajak and custom place finish determination by Brent Batch. Also using stabilizers from Brent Batch and UltraGPower (independently created).

Directions:
1) Suggest spawning in a flat world or near the fence. Put a few blocks down and weld it to the blocks so it's a bit above the ground. This is NECESSARY if you want to be able to race the cars more than once.
2) Turn on the randomizer - button in the back on top of a blue logic gate.
3) Detach each car by deleting the bright purple blocks.
4) To start the race, press the button on the wall. There's a timer with a 2 second delay to the start of the race, which you can adjust if you like. The place finishes all start with 1st place, but these will reset automatically when the cars pass the half-way mark of the race.
5) Run along the side of the track to watch the race. Towards the end of the race, don't walk near the scanners at either end or by the middle, as this will mess up the place finishes.
6) A switch at the end of the track turns the cars off after running through another timer.
7) You can race the cars back to the start. Just turn each car around and place them about even along the white line. Press the button at the end to start them up again.

REMOTE CONTROL WARNINGS:
Once the cars are detached, don't do anything to the track, even painting it, or the connection to the cars will be broken. Leaving the world will break the connection, so delete each car before you leave, and then delete the track last. If you delete the track first, the cars will go racing into the sunset. :)

You are welcome to showcase as long as you credit us and link to our channels. You can make cosmetic changes to the cars if you like.
