Chapter 15: Race control

Stage a heat and run roll call

Load the next heat with Stage Heat and let roll call tick off each car as it crosses, so you know who is on track before the start.

For race directors about 1 min 5 steps
VideoComing soon. The written guide below has every step.

We are recording this one now. It will play right here when it is ready.

Staging loads a heat and starts roll call. Every car that crosses the loop is ticked off, so you can see at a glance who is out on track and who is still in the pits.

Before you start

  • Heats generated.
  • A decoder connected.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the program

    Race Control always opens the right screen for the event.

  2. 2

    Check the lineup

    Click any heat chip to preview a different heat.

  3. 3

    Stage Heat

    The staging panel shows how many cars are on track, like "0/4 on track".

  4. 4

    Cars tick off as they cross

    You will be asked to confirm before starting with anyone missing.

  5. 5

    Cancel if you need to

    Nothing is saved or lost. Stage it again when ready.

Tips

  • Space stages the next heat when nothing is running.
  • Ask drivers to roll over the line once before the start. Roll call ticks them off.
  • Cancel unloads the heat without starting it.

Troubleshooting

A driver shows "Never seen".
That transponder has never crossed this loop. Check it is on the car and charged.
"Roll call is not running".
Press Start Roll Call.
