5 years ago Capturing notes based on our phone call:
Cars can have the same number in the same class group and session Data that remains the same: Event - Track, Region, Site Cert Date, Meter Factory Calibration Date, Microphone Location Group - Car classes Session - Each session is unique The readings table should be sorted by car number and change dynamically as readings are entered at the bottom of the page.
Nice to have: Pre-populate each session with the event and group information. A group can change between sessions as long as the previous session(s) are not affected.
Possible future enhancements: CSV import for populating the group Maybe save cars & drivers to the database so that cars & drivers which participate in multiple events can be added to the event and groups from a menu.
I am looking for a web based system that will replace a pdf document (see attached file) that has been in use for years. The pdf document is used by the Washington DC Sound Control team for recording sound levels of the race cars competing at the SCCA racing events at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia. Below is a description of a typical race event weekend and what the Sound Control team does
The event will start on Saturday morning with qualifying for each of the separate race groups. These sessions are about 15 minutes each. There is usually from 8 to 10 groups per weekend which will be on the track for three separate sessions (two qualifying, and one race session). The maximum number of cars per group by rule is 50, usually we will have between 20 and 40.
At the beginning of the session the team will pull up a blank pdf document and fill out all the event and weather information (top and bottom of the form). Usually the form has been prefilled a couple days earlier with the the entries registered online. The form occupies one half of the computer monitor. The other half of the monitor has the live timing and scoring results.
When the cars have taken the green flag and have separated enough, the sound team will start recording the readings. We write down the car class and all recorded readings for all cars participating. Cars are monitored on each lap of the event, and multiple readings will be recorded for any participating car during the session. We have recorded up to 10 separate readings for a car per session, usually we fill up the available space on the form then give up. When the session is done, the results are saved to the form, and the form is printed to a printer at Timing and Scoring. This is repeated for the two Saturday qualifying sessions (morning and afternoon) and the race on Sunday. So for any given race weekend we car record up to 30 or so separate sessions and as many separate PDF forms.
