1.3. Creating Racers

After correctly setting up your hardware you are ready to create racers. Use the following steps to create some new racers.

  1. Go to the Edit Racers Screen using the Edit Racers button on the upper portion of the window.

  2. Click the Create New Racer button to create a new racer with blank information.

  3. Now that a new blank racer has been created the information about the racer needs to be populated, the only required fields are the Name and the UID though it is recommended that you also select an image for the racer. How the UID is populated depends on the hardware you are using.

    • Core Speedway: To get the UID of a racer with the Core Speedway lap counter put a car with an RFID Tag above the lap counter antenna and click the scan button.

    • Other Hardware: To get the UID of a racer with other hardware lap counters click the scan button and drive a car with a transponder past the lap counter.

    • Keyboard: If you are using the Keyboard to register laps put they key that you want to use for the racer in the UID field.

  4. After you have entered all the information in about the racer click the Save button to save the racers information. All information is stored in the database.

  5. For each additional racer that you need to create you must click the Create New Racer button first and follow the above steps.
