Smart phone app?

Great idea as long as DC has the info in right! (But it seems they are right 99.8% of the time)

Glad you asked. Smart phone app is the next step. Whoever purchases the program as it is in its current state will get any and all future updates at no charge, this includes any smartphone apps.

awesome program, but i'd be willing to bet the hundred bucks that most of the big hitters in stock super are red lit against 50 % of the time. Its just as easy to keep your eyes focused forward, regardless of who you are running, nail the tree to a .015 or better light and run dead on dial. if you get beat it doesnt matter if it was Fletcher or the rookie of the years first pass of the year. if you dont get beat, and make it to the finals, someone will probabley say you did it because of your ladder position! LOL

I agree with you about the heavy hitters getting lots of red light victories and as I said earlier, this program is no substitute for poor driving skills in today's competitive classes. But if you are a slower car in a crowded C/SA class, you will have virtually no shot of winning with your .015 light if you are stuck in any heads up situations. Using this program, you attempt to stay away from situations like that. If you are the baddest C/SA car then you try to pursue heads-up situations like that! And as I also stated earlier, the most common use of the program is to avoid teammates/friends/bosses. Bye runs are always nice too because you don't need the .015 light to win those.

Hey I hope they say it was because of your ladder position! And I hope they tell their friends the same

Bobby,

I just downloaded it and unzipped the file. Then I went to open up the .exe file and it pops up a window with a bunch of jibberish that says it cannot be opened in a DOS format.

This is on a new MacBook Pro with the latest version of Office for Mac. You need an easier way of downloading it than this. I am fairly computer literate and this is far too frustrating.

Sorry, I now see deep into the text at the bottom that it is not compatible with Mac. That leaves me out.

I'm sorry Kyle, yes at this time the protected version of the program is not compatible with Mac. While Excel itself does work on Mac, the program I am using to secure the XLS workbook from illegal sharing and copyright infringement is not. It is definitely in the works though. I know I am thinking about switching to Mac soon myself.

Install VMware Player and spin up a Win7 VM.

I don't know if anyone considers me a hitter but I will take that bet! You can have my log book from this year and you'll see that about, maybe,10 opponents have red lit against me! Now, I do play the ladder as many of you know, but it's only to avoid one person, my brother. This program does sound good, and for those that race two cars and don't have time to figure it out by looking at DRC and a ladder book, it may be a wise investment.

I don't know if anyone considers me a hitter either,but I have won three National events in the last two years and only ONE round was won because of a redlight against me.
