Default Racing Software to track time slips

Hi I am drag racing a sn95 and was wondering if anyone uses any software to track all their time slips and weather etc. I looked at Crew Chef and Quarter Jr. but they seem really pricey for what I want to do.

Any suggestions would be appriciated.

If you're just recording and looking at the data, not really trying to manipulate it. You could use a simple spread sheet.

But, you might want to use more powerfull features, like show all the data for an 85* day, with less than 65% humidity. Then pretty much any basic data base software will do. No need to spend big bux for pre-labeled data fields and fancy graphics.

You're modding and racing a modern computer controlled car - you can figure this out on your own.

Thanks for the reply. I was at the parts store today picking up some NOS and I asked the parts guy about software. One of the customers said they use a program called Strip? I downloaded it today and it seems alright for what I want to do and it is cheap. Seems to track my time slips and weather info and some basics on my car setup. Guess I will try it out and see how it works out for me.

Got it @ www.stripyourride.com I could stay on that site all day!!! Very HOT!

Old school log book here too. I use the notes sections to write myself (very colorful notes) what I did or didn't do. Root cause of the lost. At the end of the year I can see what I need to work on and improve for the next season.

I can tell who the old guys are on here! I use a notebook at the track too, but I do enter all the time slips and notes into a spreadsheet later. It's just easier to read that way.

If the shoe fits.....

They say you're only as old as you feel. If that's the case, some days I must be at least 100.

I'll never see 44 again either!

And I don't have to worry about if I get senile. It's too late for that.

I just turned 54. Mentally act like 16 and on cold rainy morning feel like 100.
