Just wanted to share with you the write up that Todd Zeller submitted and was placed in the October 2011 Propwash regarding rcRacingEvents.com.
I also want to thank Stu Barr for the Thank you card he sent after the Hobart race.Race Entry Program
By Todd Zeller
Palm Beach RC Power Boaters
A huge improvement has been made for model boat racers and CD’s. Bill Britton’s rcracingevents.com online race entry
and scoring system has taken a load off of the CD’s back, while making it simpler and easier for racers to enter a race.
After CDing races for over 20 years, I can safely say that this is the easiest race I’ve ever put together. The data entry
portion of assembling a race has historically been the most time consuming part of building a race. Bill’s system has all
but removed the data entry burden off the CD or whoever is putting the race together.
The building of heats takes all of about 10 minutes, which includes sorting out frequency conflicts. Adding late entries
is a breeze. Scoring is a snap, with his scoring application that you will need to download. If you have internet access at
the pond with an air card or cellphone, uploading your scores after each heat only takes a couple mouse clicks. There are
even numerous video tutorials in his support forum on the site, to help explain the process of building up a race from
scratch and scoring the event. You also get excellent tech support from Bill himself, as he keeps a watchful eye over
races being built or edited.
There are no additional fees if mail-in entries only are used. The only additional costs incurred are a minimal fee
from PayPal (optional), which averaged out to less than $0.75 per racer for our race. Many people are not aware that
a PayPal account is not required for a racer to pay with a credit card.
I highly recommend to any club that they try out rcracingevents.com, as you won’t believe how simple and
easy it is. Our club won’t be going back to any of the old methods of doing this ever again!
Dear Bill -
Your race program worked like a champ!
Thanks,
Stu Barr
