Having contest condition indicator (e.g., lap counter, timer, start indicator, etc.):
(under subclass 54) Subject matter including structure arranged to test, measure, or display the status of a race.
(1) Note. To be properly placed in this or the indented subclass, the condition tested, measured, or displayed is a conditional aspect of the contest, per se, as opposed to the status of a peripheral structure associated with the game structure that has no informational value to the contest.
