Description:

RaceLog Pro 6 Plusä is the Weather and Paging System enabled version of our RaceLog Pro 6 Liteä software. You don't need a trailer station or paging system to use RaceLog Pro Plus, but if you do, it supports Davis Vantage Pro, Altronics PAPC, and Lacrosse weather stations plus our unique Xlite Paging System. So, you can add a weather station or paging system at any time. RaceLog Pro Plus is the software we package with every Weather Station/Paging Package that we offer. With a supported Weather Station, the new weather can be automatically entered into the program for you every 10 seconds! We currently support:

Davis Weather Monitor II
Davis Vantage Pro (all models)
Davis Vantage Pro 2 (all models)
LaCrosse Professional Weather Center (Model WS-2010, WS-2210, WS-2510, WS-7015 only)
Altronics (PAPC) Performaire PC - Our Paging System also works with the Performaire PC

RaceLog Pro Plus is the ultimate Drag Racing Logbook, and ET Prediction system for your personal computer. It supports an unlimited number of databases each having an unlimited number of records. RaceLog Pro automatically tracks weather conditions, run information, weather corrected run segments, vehicle settings, component runs, track conditions, expenses, points, winnings, and more. Weather correction calculations support both gasoline and methanol fuel. Any run can be located immediately by Run #, Track, Event, or Date. A Form-view allows the user to see and edit all the data on just one screen. An exclusive dual Table-view allows comparison of multiple runs within a database, or between databases. Records and reports can be printed instantly. RaceLog Pro Plus interfaces with many trailer stations and weather stations to automatically input the air conditions and do it’s computations without any help from the user. It will also interface with Family Software’s Weather Paging system to send your predicted ET, throttle stop prediction and all weather conditions directly to the racer in the staging lanes.

RaceLog Pro Plus will install on all Windows platforms 9x, XP, and Vista and requires at least an 800x600 VGA or higher display. It comes completely setup to page up to three (3) different cars and/or Right Lane/Left Lane ET Predictions simultaneously. The installation program gives the user an option to place shortcuts on the desktop during installation and this is recommended.

If you are using a supported weather station with RaceLog Pro Plus, it isn't necessary to enter the weather data to a new record manually. Racelog Pro Plus maintains a separate Date/Time indexed weather database while it is running. When adding, editing, or inserting a new run, if weather data is available, a Data Control appears allowing you to select the weather according to the Date and Time on your time slip and is entered automatically into the database record.

RaceLog Pro Plus uses TrueWindä ET Prediction, another innovation from Family Software. TrueWind is the actual amount of wind force that is capable of affecting your car's performance. TrueWind values are used in accurately predicting variations in elapsed time due to changes occurring in wind speed and wind direction. Regardless of the wind direction and total wind speed, using TrueWind, a trailer-mounted weather station can also be used to measure the actual head or tail wind occurring on the race track! The built-in ET Predictor Pro uses the TrueWind values from your Base Run, the current TrueWind values, and a Wind Factor specific to your car, to produce a TrueWind adjusted ET, and sends it directly to your pager in the staging lanes. If you are manually entering your weather data, you can still use a hand held wind meter with TrueWind ET Prediction.

RaceLog Pro Plus has a special ET Predictor screen for eighth mile racers. If you enter a zero (0) in the fields for 1000 foot ET and 1320 foot ET of the logbook run record, the ET Predictor knows this is an eighth mile run. When you open the ET Predictor, it will automatically display the 1/8-Mile Mode.

Pager messages received have a Pager Identity P1, P2, P3, P4, or P5. By adding the Pager ID to each message, it is easy to match a paging message with the instance of RaceLog Pro Plus that sent it. Therefore, if you only have one pager, you can now send simultaneous messages for different cars, or right lane and left lane ET predictions to the same pager. Here is an example Page:

P1- ET:8.862 TS:1.379 B:30.03 T:67 RH:49 G:47 V.326 HC:1.0166 AD:97.96 DA:701 DP:47 W:3.0

Our pager units are the best in the industry, are brand new, (not refurbished like our competitors), and use the latest technology. Our pager has the only LCD display in the industry that will show up to 8 lines of text. This means that you can see all your data on just one (1) screen and not have to scroll back and forth. Our competitors use pagers that cannot compare in features, quality, or value, yet they charge you more for each pager!

RaceLog Pro Plus uses Family Software's proprietary Horsepower Correction formulas for ET Prediction, the only completely scientific formulas in the industry. Our ET Prediction is based on the amount of horsepower being produced based on the RELATIVE OXYGEN in the air and a COMPUTER MODEL of your particular cars performance. We DO NOT average weather data, run data, or use outdated (and inaccurate!) Density Altitude calculations for ET Prediction. Our original formulas are perfectly accurate and have never needed changing.

RaceLog Pro has always used Vapor Pressure and is the only ET Prediction software to handle humidity calculations correctly. You won't find any "fudge factors" in our software. Here are some of the calculations provided:

Horsepower Correction Factor
Air Density Index
Density Altitude
Vapor Pressure
Water Grains per Pound
Dew Point Temperature
Horsepower Corrected Weight

Standard Pressure ET Correction
Predicted 60' ET
Predicted 330' ET
Predicted 660' ET
Predicted 1000' ET
Predicted 1320' ET
Throttle Stop Prediction
Run Completion ET
TrueWind 660' Prediction
TrueWind 1000' Prediction
TrueWind 1320' Prediction

And our exclusive Run Segment Analysisä feature to compare and graph runs to see as little as .001 of a second difference at different points on the race track. Differences that are not due to weather change. This is a feature that Family Software developed and copyrighted, no one else. We are the original ET Prediction software developer and an innovator in this industry!

Remember, often imitated, but never duplicated, we have been "The ET Prediction Experts" since 1986.
