Teamsters tried to recruit pro racers in 1961 flop noted

Daytona Test Shows Computerized Timing Flawed
In Daytona Beach a trial of a computerised timing system for auto races failed as the DATANET equipment froze in cold weather. Technicians from General Electric set up in a trackside trailer with teletypes and displays. The temp drop caused the machine to die until a later reprogramming attempt when it again faltered, marking a setback for the automated timing effort.
