DragTracker.com News and Updates

Notes Fields Added

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:04:01 -0500

We have added some special notes fields to the user's dragtracker account. You can now add "Notes". Either free-form text notes OR Total Lift values. If you enter the lift values, you can see a scatter plot of all 8 cylinders which allows you to quickly see if a cylinder is down on lift (bad camshaft). This should help you track your engine.

Added a new field: Tire Pressure

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:01 -0400

For those of you needing to keep track of rear (or front) tire pressure, we have added a new field for you to do so. Just add it to your DragTracker Run Log in your preferences section.

Happy Halloween!

No tricks here - we have been busy! We added a new statistic (by request) that includes Heads-up racing. This means that any run that you enter and mark as an elimination round, and you enter the dial-in as equivalent - will show up in this list of statistics.

Drag Racing Abbreviations and Definitions

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 15:07:01 -0400

We received some sample data from the folks over at iCard (http://icardus.com/index.htm) and have integrated our "Import" process so that it works with their CSV files. Its a brand new feature, so if you find any problems, be sure to let us know: http://www.dragtracker.com/contact.php.

Community Forum

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:00:01 -0400

We have been able to integrate a new piece of forum software into the website. It has all the standard features of a forum and the user system is completely tied into our user system. So once you are registered, you will have complete access to anything in the forum. Also, when you logout, you will be logged off of the forum. Let us know if you find any trouble.
