... program to run the tracks offer?

I'm planning on writing a program to use at the track to keep the data collected from the runs, car data, etc. ... winter's long and more or less starting after the 7th :) time I have left when not messing with the '79 and cleaning the street from the snow will probably go towards it ... :)

Here's a list of things I've been thinking about doing or having ...

- car database: Driver name, car data, picture; data being kept in between different events so that it doesn't have to be typed in every time ... automatic creation of signup sheet for returning drivers

- event types:
- 1/4 mile w/ all available values (R/T, 60', 330', 1/8 time/speed, 1000', 1/4 time/speed) (would it need to differentiate between "regular" lights R/T and professional R/T? I understand regulars are d/q'd with R/T below .500, while professional are valid from .001?); probably want a flag to mark 1/8 mile tracks/values
- other type races with a final time and up to 2(?) time values in between (could be used for AutoX or road course I guess)
- for the 1/4 times, need to have different event types - qualification races, bracket finals, heads-up races ...

- display - support for displaying different pages:
- last couple races w/ information about the runs
- upcoming races
- current top-20 or something
- for interactive displays (or online on the web): detail information on just about anything in the database

That's it for the moment ... any comments?

What about classes. If we are going to do this we will need to follow the SCCA rules or something for the various mods allowed under a certain class.......

Classes could be easily implemented by having different quarter races set up ... anyway, if you can, point me towards any information you have ...
