Ken - thanks for the suggestions. I'll add that in. I'm actually going to be adding several things to it this weekend, and I'll include those. The main list that is shown is going to change too, there will now be a "Details" link on each run line that will expand to show the details of that run. There will also be some more sophisticated filtering on there as well.

SSPerformance - There is no downloadable/desktop version. I'm not ruling that out, but at this point I've got my hands full with the site

I hope that the people that are already logged on get grandfathered in when you start to charge for it.....

I won't charge people for the site, hopefully ever. If push comes to shove I'll look for advertising to do it, and if that doesn't work I'll try to find some other way.

Thats awesome, I was going to make something like this for the iphone, add in a DA calculator, pull location from GPS for real time ET correction (assuming someone logs while they're at the track) but I don't have enough time right now. Man, if someone wrote an app like this for the iphone they could make some serious monies.

Zmg00camaross - Please do! I've posted it on several forums.. The more the better as far as I'm concerned.

fucter - A dedicated phone app is on the table as well. I have some ideas to go along with it though. Don't have time to deal with an iPhone app at the moment with everyone signing up for the site, but after this settles down I'll work on it probably.

This site is iPhone compatible for the most part - you can enter runs from an iPhone or Android phone. Also it has automatic weather data collection, so you just enter the zip code of the track, and what time the run was, and it goes out and gets the weather data and calculates the DA for you.

I just did some quick research and it looks like it will be possible for the site to dynamically get your location from the GPS in the phone - without actually writing an app that must be downloaded from the app store.

Like you said that would allow immediate weather collection and calculation of DA to use as a basis for ET/MPH correction. I might implement this into the site in a couple weeks.

Sorting based on weather is now available.

I agree with these, timing and something for fuel maybe fuel pressure and jetting (I would use that for injector size like I do in my log book) and maybe duty cycle? Also shock settings would be a great addition.

Thanks for taking the time to do this program looks great so far, I just need to get entering my data.

Due to some requests by users (some on this site) the following fields have been added and can be tracked on each run:

Timing
Carb. Jetting
Fuel Pressure
Length of Burnout (in seconds)
Injector Size
Duty Cycle

Thanks,
Zach

Thanks for the additions the site works really great, I've been messing around with graphing some stuff and it has been helpful.

I have two suggestions,

On the custom reports could the date be picked easier? It is kinda inconvenient to have to step back through the months to get to last years runs.

Also fields to track shock settings would be nice

Thanks

I'll look into the date thing - it was a quick way to get it working and you're right about it being a pain at times.

What fields do you need for shock settings?

Thanks!

It could be as simple as just a field for front and rear, or one for each shock in case u set them different side to side

Ok there are 4 new numeric fields - one for each shock. I actually created a new category for "Suspension Setup" so if there are more suspension details that need to be tracked I can add them.

Thanks,
Zach
