As part of the Sports Challenge exhibition that we adapted from the
Franklin Institute, there is a nice NASCAR interactive about reaction
time...basically, a light tree, like you see at the races, goes red red
red green, and you have to hit the accellerator pedal at green.  A
display shows the time between when the light turns green and when you
hit the accellerator.  Two people can compete for the faster reaction
time.
