Running Race Time Display in VB6 Program

What is the best way to have a timer displaying the running time of a race (or several races) in vb6. Let's say that one race started at precisely 8:00:00 AM and a second race started at 8:14:56 AM. I would like a display on our results page that continually shows the elapsed time of each race (h:mm:ss would be fine). I could use a quick blurb of pseudo-code if anyone has the time. I could figure this out but I want it to be as "efficient" a utility as possible because results and other functionality will be occurring throughout the duration of the event.

Thanks in advance!!

Depending on how much else goes on in your application, the Timer may not be the best way to go. See my article on "How to time code" for other timing methods.
