the starter can start the race.
The lower right corner of the race screen has 4 panels which activate (lighted) and
deactivate when left Mouse Clicked. They also activate from data entry provided in the
category editor in the Post Process Program. They can be deactivated or activated at any time

Useless), Breakout (Bracket Racing), Dual Red Lights (Usually Used during Time Trials), and
Super Start (Blue Light on Christmas Tree – Deep Staging Not Allowed).

There is a small panel labeled “AS” above the 4 panels above which is for “Automatic
Storing” of results. Sometimes during a track testing session, it is best to turn this box off so
that tests are not stored. This panel can be activated and deactivated by a Left Button Mouse
Click. The Box above “AS” is labeled “Finish” and this represents the location of the Finish

or 1 in the Finish Line location field. A 0 means that the finish is at the 1320 foot location and a
1 means that the finish is at the 660 foot location (Mid Track), and a -1 means that the finish
location has been selected in the Pro Box Setup Screen (Look above under Pro Box Setup)
under the switches page and “Trap End”.

to change incorrect data and send a Tower Ready again). The Breakout Boxes illuminate if a
vehicle goes below their Dial-In) and the Prestage and Stage Panels illuminate when the
vehicles break the starting line beams. The Clear Buttons clear information off of the race
screen or out the of the que. The “Xwin” button exhanges the winner if the Centerline is

versions also have a MOV box for seconds as well as feet (or Meters if running Kilometers per
Hour). The Panic Button turns the Panic Lights “ON” and “OFF” and the Setup Button brings
