Default Drag racing log book software

This started out for my own use but I've decided to let anyone use it who wants to. Basically it's a site that lets you log all of your runs and then analyze them to determine how you are performing. It's simple for now but if reception is good I will continue development on it and add features. The site is 100% free to anyone who wants to use it, and sign up only takes a minute - http://www.RacersLog.net

There is also an app for PCs and phones that doesn't require internet access and has several features the site doesn't.

Android Phones/Tablets:
https://market.android.com/details?id=racerslog.app

iPhone/iPad:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/raceiq/id504617839

Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/RaceIQ-Drag-Ra...dp/B007GGAU60/

Google Chrome (for Running it on a PC):
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...fnbhaipejpennm

First shot is of the "Performance Report". This is basically a report of your performance over a given time period. You pick a date range and the site generates the report based on your runs within that range. In addition to what is shown in the screenshot there are graphs on this page that show your 1/4MPH & ET and your 1/8MPH & ET over the date range (so you can tell if you are improving):



There are also custom graphs available. For instance, you could generate a graph that shows your 60' time relative to your 330' time. Or you could see how your times differed based on which lane you ran in. For example here is a graph showing how the back half MPH gain progressed through the range:



Here's another I think would be useful - it is the 60' time based on the launch RPMs (although the same RPM was used throughout the day on this graph):



Screen to enter run data (like I said more fields can be added if they are requested - already added shift points, and opponent interval times):



Mods - I apologize if this is out of place. I have posted this on a couple other forums and the users liked it, so figured I would post it here.

Does the software allow you to put in weather stats. Then if it does can you bring up runs by the weather.

Example. Can you search your database of runs to find how the car should run giving the weather you enter for current conditions

Looks pretty good though

Yes, you can enter weather stats. Can enter Temp, Humidity, Pressure, and Density Altitude. Also wind direction and speed.

You cannot currently pull runs by weather conditions but that's a good idea and I'll add that. Will probably have that on the site in a day or two.

You can currently graph runs by weather. So for instance, I can go to the "Custom Reports" area and pick "1/4 ET" as my vertical axis and "Temperature" as my horizontal axis and it will generate a graph of your ET vs Temp.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the weather info can actually be automatically gathered. You can enter the zip code of the track into the site and it will go fetch the weather data for that location at the time of your run (or as close to the time as possible). It will also automatically calculate density altitude when it does that.

I have some OLD software somewhere, I think it's DOS based even...can't remember..

once you entered in that information, over time, it would be able to predict what you are going to run.

i.e. - here are the weather stats, etc etc, my car will run a _____.

Helpful for when the temps drop during the evening.

I have seen that in some other software too. I'll probably try to figure that out at some point. My original intent for the software was for guys who just drag race for fun (like me), not really bracket racers, but it seems a lot of bracket racing guys are signing up so I think that feature would be used.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks! As I was researching for an alternative I couldn't believe one didn't exist (at least not for free). So, being a software engineer, I made my own.

I use the written logbooks, but may add this to my racing arsenal since it breaks down alot of the splits automatically.

Yeah I think a lot of people use the written log books. Obviously not everyone will want to switch to this, I just like it since I like to dig through data find as much info as I can.

That's one reason I added the support for doing it from an Android/iPhone, I know some people will want to enter the data immediately after a run so that all the details are fresh in their heads.

This is cool, good job putting this together. I'm going to sign up and mess with it later. I'd fall into the 'fun racer' category and this sure beats the excel sheet I've been entering data into.

Glad you guys like it.

No need for thanks, if I was going to do it for myself it was just a little more work to make it work for everyone else too.

I just logged in.

Couple of things that would be great to have for run entry would be jetting for carbs, or fuel pressure(maybe a certain EFI program name.) Also if you had a spot for timing.

Just in case you were trying out a few things at the track you could see how the changes effected the car.

Again great program.
