Hello Robbin,
OK, this hopefully explains what I have done, if nothing else it may suggest alternative arrangements. I use the audio cables for two reasons - 1: The cables are shielded so less likely to suffer with false triggers from car motor noise (electrical noise), 2: if necessary I can easily patch in a long extension cable to extend the reach between the track and the computer (this is handy for a portable track).

So the arrangement is to solder a short bit of cable (with plugs at the end) to the sensors and a longer piece of cable (with sockets at the end) to the 9-Pin connector for the computer.
Obviously the plugs and sockets get connected to make it work...  If you want to switch the lane identities its easy to cross-over the connectors.

Hope fully the pictures tell a thousand words...
I only have 25-pin connectors so am showing that, but the comments are using the 9-Pin pin numbers.
