Good Morning Jack,
Don't know if you got an aswer to this but if the race committe insist on elasped time with the one watch you can do this.
Edit the race and for the first fleet set start time as 00:00
For the second fleet 00:05 etc
Then put the results in as finish time not elasped time as say 00:58:50, 01:01:20 etc the correct elasped time is then calculated.
regards
