I clicked on the registration tab, but it said racers can only be added to round 1, so I clicked round 1, then registration, the 4 that advanced with the dens were checked as finalists, I then checked the other 4. Went back to round 2 and generated the schedule, it seemed to work...all 8 were there....

Thanks! I did do that and now I only have the 4 top racers there. How to I add the others?

So after creating a test group, sub groups, and running the heats. Say that I want to advance the 1st place finisher from each den, plus the next 4 fastest cars to the finals round for a total of 8. First, I look at the stats for each Den, determine the first place in each den. Then I look at the st...

Hello all! First off - GPRM=Fantastic! I was posting over in the track section, but since my questions are now getting into the software realm, I thought it best to come over here. I just purchased GPRM 10 and installed it and started messing around with it to get used to it. I have questions... I h...

That sounds like the way I would like to do it this year. So I have the software, but not the track or timer. Is there a way for me to "simulate" a race by entering in a roster and manually selecting a finish order. It would be neat to sort of run through the scenario before race day to &q...

So building on what dna1990 does, we would essentially be starting a brand new race with entries that include #1 in each den Tiger, Wolf, Bear, WEBelos I. then look at the stats from the previous race and enter in the next 4 top times overall, generate a new race schedule and run'em just like a norm...

Since I wasn't involved at this level last year, I don't really know exactly how it was done. I pretty sure the racing was by den to determine the 1,2, in each den. I just found the rule and info they gave out last year. It states: "After the heat races, the top 8 times overall will be seeded 1...

As I've mentioned in another thread, I'm the PWD chair for our Pack this year. Last year we ran all the heat and dens, determined first and second in each den. Then (I think) they used the top 8 times to seed a bracket to determine the overall pack grand champion. The first thing that I want to do i...

Thanks Stan.. Unfortunately we've already placed the order. We bought some of the upgrade timer options and also a hard plastic carrying carrying case for the timer. Hopefully not getting the anodized won't bite us in the posterior region. With that said....Does anyone have any tips for taking care ...

While a 48' track was in the budget and would fit in the room, We decided to go with the 40' Freedom series aluminum track for all the above reasons. We felt that to be a good middle road choice. We also ordered a new Micro wizard timer and GPRM software. Thanks for everyone's awesome and quick advi...

Thanks everyone for the quick replies! My man sense tell me to get the biggest track possible (cue Tim "the tool man" Taylor grunt), but based on your excellent advise my common sense tells me to go with the 40' for the reasons mentioned above. We have a large hall with plenty of room. Tha...

Greetings all, I've been fortunate enough to have taken over as our race chairman this year due to a dad aging out with his son. I love PWD and I'm excite for this years race. I'm also fortunate enough to be able to purchase our own trak and timer this year instead of borrowing. The one question tha...

I tried downloading these 2 days ago with the same result. I was also unable to reach Larry. I resolved to searching for another plan. Maybe someone will be able to shed a light...

Very nice cars! Question about the plexiglass guide pin....This is the first that I've seen such a setup. Would this be legal in allot of pack rules? I really like the idea, but don't know if I would be able to use it or not, or how to tell if our rules allow it... What I'm trying to say is..if our ...

Yes, it definitely would have been a whole lot easier but, as usual I was trying to please the majority. It was a little more work, but it worked out well. I used the router table to cut a slot in the board that goes under the track to mount the circuit board in, keeping it safe from damage (I'll po...
