Default RE: Computer program for racing heats

I didn't get a chance to get into your program as well, but I will second the opinions of both Tim and Ken. I use both the RCPro Warbird race program and Stan's timing program. Both are stand alone programs and are very user friendly, (as long as you are comfortable in front of a computer), and work very well for almost all types of racing. The Warbird program will store all the pilot information in an internal database so the next time you race, you just have to type in the AMA number, (or whatever number you put in that field), and it populates the pilot information. It also stores the scoring and times for either hard copy printing or it generates an HTML page that can be easily published to a website. It has many features that make race management easy and relatively pain free.

Stan's timing program also works very well and it also has the ability to store all the times from the previous heats and can be printed out as well. The timing program can be found on the NMPRA site, (nmpra.org), under the software tab on the left hand side of the page. It can be used either with the timing box as mentioned or it can be ran from a keyboard using specific keys to count the laps, cuts, etc.

They have both been great tools to help keep races running smoothly and without alot of troubles
