Each class can carry its own timing and race settings. They are used when a class has its own heats, and they pre-fill Event Setup. Most clubs set them once and leave them.
Before you start
- At least one class.
Step by step
- 1
Edit a class
The pencil is "Edit class". The Edit Class form opens with the name, colour and sort order.
- 2
Show the race settings
The timing settings are tucked away because most clubs only set them once.
- 3
Qualifying
Qualifying Format is Timed (Best Consecutive), Rocket Round or Best Single Run. Qual Duration is in minutes. Qual Rounds is how many rounds you plan to run.
- 4
Mains and heat size
Main Duration is in minutes. Cars per Heat is how many cars your track can run at once, often 8 to 10 on a club track. Leave it empty to use the event's Cars per Heat.
- 5
Bump-ups and finishing laps
Bump-Ups moves the top finishers of each lower main into the next main up. Allow Laps After Time is usually Finish Current Lap, so everyone takes the flag.
- 6
Update Class
Events created from now on start with these numbers. A running event picks up a new main length for mains not yet run.
Tips
- Leave Min Lap at 3000 ms. It only stops double reads. Raising it toward a real lap time merges real laps.
- Changing Main Duration on a class mid-event re-times that class's mains that have not run yet.
- Bump-Ups "Use the event setting" lets each event decide.
Troubleshooting
- Two laps became one.
- Min Lap (ms) is set too high. Put it back to 3000.
- The class uses a different heat size from the event.
- Cars per Heat on the class wins. Empty it to use the event's Cars per Heat.
