Speed measurment

Distance measurement? No problem, right? I've got a fun little project where I'm to measure the distance traveled by a non-powered vehicle. Remember the Pinewood Derby in Cub Scouts? It's sorta/kinda like that but with a person sized vehicle... Travel down a ramp, see how far it goes. No problem. When I told the client I could do it, I specifically said I'm not equipped or an expert to measure the speed. They said, they'll take of that by using radar gun of the local law enforcement. Now I have a voice message saying, in effect, "turns out, we can't use radar for an 'official' speed. Do you have equipment or source to measure speed? Something like used in track & field or go carts?" Tried google for answers but not really anything easy. ?ÿ Any suggestions? ?ÿ

@bill93 like you suggested, some sort of photo controlled timer. I don't know the exact equipment. The company that did the official timing is Athletic Timing.
