Derby Talk

Well I reread your post and answered my own question in your system everybody races the same number of times, I need an elimination style to cut down on the time it takes to run the event. We're all big boys,, grown men really so we can take being eliminated in front of the group, which is how it wa...

so I guess i'm asking are "heats" one round of racing?

let me explain what we're doing. We're running a battle top event. We turn tops on wood lathes they bang into each other and fall down one by one causing the finish order. 20 -30 people. When you say heats and rounds is a heat when all the racers have gone once and been scored. then they progress to...

unique?, how is the scoring done if a points system (based on finish position) would be used for a four car race.

hello al,l some of you have been following and helping me with my dilemma about using derby software to run our woodturners battle top event. Ive decided to bite the bullet and just buy some new software and start there. so recommendations please on software. I need to be able to assign up to eight ...

ok I follow, sorry there's no data to give you since we haven't run it. I might be able to dig up data on pervious single arena outcomes, but truthfully I don't want to take up your time with it. Ok so I know you've heard this one before. (A quote "bad lane") If the process ie: lane choice...

We haven't done this yet. To date we've only used one arena (four lanes) so ideally we should make a bigger dia arena with 6 -8 "lanes/gates) about 48" dia . Its not really practical I mean it can be done but we have a prefab oak pub table top 38" 2" thick that we want to use. So...

Ok thanks, so we run it like a derby scored by finish position. I think 1 point for first 2 for second etc. Might be 0 for first 1 for second etc. You are out when you get over 9 points. This is a 36" round dished arena 4 openings (Gates in the walls) the tops are hand made on wood lathes to ex...

PPN? As old as it is was hoping some one knew Raceview,, I has a 9 point threshold and you're out if that helps

Hello all a quick question I hope someone can answer. I use Raceview to run our wood turners club battle top event,. (Concaved surface Plexiglass walls, four gates the tops bang into each other last man standing wins etc) my question is the club is getting bigger to speed up the event were thinking ...
