Yeah that is why I asked if it was possible and to bounce ideas off other people.
An idea is to lower the rate till it creates a start/finish line. Or if I do go the route of using arduino raspberry pi combination, maybe could just store the points to create the track on the pi. Though I am not sure if that could run with the NodeRed program that mrburnette suggested.
Very true I had the same thoughts about winding track layouts messing with miscounting laps. If you look at the picture, that is from that race I recorded from, and you can see it has winding path near the start/finish line ( that is the area the path splits into two and the track runs clockwise with the blue dot being the pit area).
An idea I had was to have it read a random number of point before incrementing lap count or create another area that has to be passed through that would be located another spot on the track.
