Note
A plural that only some meanings of timing can take. It counts separate measured or scheduled moments, such as each runner's recorded time or each event's start time. Ignition timing, the firing of an engine's spark plugs, stays uncountable and has no plural. The -s also rules out the verb: timing as the participle of time never takes one.
