The Tidewater Sports Car Club has been using ACCUCROS software for
timing for the last several years.  It sounds as though it meets your
criteria.

Visit http://www.icehouse.net/gpsoftware/ for further info.

Various different triggers could be used, but we recently updated to the
Q45 sensors seen at http://www.icehouse.net/gpsoftware/gp00004.htm. 
They have worked nicely with the system.

ACCUCROS is one of many listed under Computer Software & Hardware/Data
Aquisition/Communications on http://www.scca.org/amateur/links.html.

I typically work in timing and scoring (and provide the Winnebago) at
our events, so let me know if you have any questions about this system.
