Run a race night

The Race Control bar at the top of the app always shows where the night is and what to do next. Follow it from sign-up to archive.

  1. Follow the Race Control bar

    The bar runs Sign-up → Heats → B-mains → Features → Archive. It tells you what's left — like “2 of 3 classes still need heat finishes” — and its button takes you there: Open sign-up, Enter results, and finally 🏁 Archive & start next race day.

  2. Sign drivers in

    On the Sign up tab, drivers enter a name and number, tap their classes, and tap Draw my pills. Returning drivers just tap their name. See The sign-up table.

  3. Check the lineups

    The Lineups tab builds every grid as drivers draw — lowest pill on pole, set 2 inverted. Pick a class, switch between Double file and Single file, tap any driver for their card, put it on a screen with 📺 TV display, or 🖨 Print it for the pits.

  4. Score the heats

    On the Score tab, pick a class and tap cars in the order they finish. A ✅ on a class tab means it's done. See The scoring tower for number-pad and dropdown entry, and DNF/DNS/DQ.

  5. Run the B-mains (if any)

    Classes with more drivers than fit in the feature get B-mains automatically once the heats are scored. They show up on Lineups and Score, and the Race Control bar counts them down. See B-mains.

  6. Run the features

    The feature lineup builds itself from heat totals (low wins) plus B-main transfers — it's on the Lineups tab under 🏁 Feature lineup. Score it on the Score tab just like a heat.
