I just found this out. Not sure if it's noteworthy, but I've been listening to people talk about how race gate switches would help and others have said that you can just put a Proximity Switch in front of the gate which is not very accurate but still doable. But the fact that if you attach a string, rod, winch or piston to the "gate" part of the race gate, it will disappear as soon as the race starts is even better news to me. It makes race gate logic much more interesting.

interesting find! could be useful, dunno how though EDIT: came up with a use! rod holds a big stone ball on a DM track , stopping it from moving. starting race causes ball to roll, and you have get to the 'end' before the ball rolls off the track and blocks the exit

Better: attach a piston between a piece of DM and a piece of material. Set the piston to stiff with a max and min length of .1 units. Put a key on the DM and a switch on the piece of material, so that they are overlapping. Pause and enable the grid if it's not done already. Grab your block and pull it away from the DM so the key and switch are sufficiently far apart. Attach your rod from the race gate to the piece of material. Voila. Done. As soon as the race starts, the switch will activate.

Ooh, don't forget to make the rod stiff as well. That's what she said!
