Too bad. That kind of stuff can really get your dander up.

My first $89 Competition Electronics ProChrono lasted over twenty years. Never a problem except when I put a sabot to its face and it cost $40 to repair. Last year it started giving funky readings after being dropped on concrete. I think the sensors were knocked loose or out of alignment. I replaced it with the $99 ProChrono Pal, which I'm very happy with.
