Derby PRO Features (SCROLL TO VIEW)

  • Fully Configurable soap box derby options allow you to customize how your event will be ran.  Single/Double elimination, Lane/wheel swapping, single run heat races, and Lane/Wheel swapping for the finals are all there.  You can configure each division with or without lane/wheel swapping as well as single or double elimination.  Giving you the ability to run your masters class with these options while running your larger divisions without them. You can also select how many places (up to 8th place) to award winners.  These rules are in accordance with the AASBD

  • Auto-bracket creation automatically generates the soap box derby brackets and heat orders for your race.  Removing the most complicated and error prone area in your race.  This feature alone is what truly makes running your race much easier.  Take the complexity out of your soap box derby race.

  • Auto-import feature will automatically import all of the soap box derby racer's information from a custom PDF form that they download online.  This keeps you from having to retype unreadable forms after the race and saves you countless hours for your submission to the AASBD.

  • Auto-timer integration feature links your Maggic Two Timer III, Race America Tlink wireless soap box derby race timer, or GritTimer drag race timer into your software and completely eliminates you manually entering in times.  The software then automatically advances the racers to their next appropriate position in the heats.  After the data is collected then the timer will automatically be reset by Derby PRO.  You can also manually enter in the time and reset the timer from the Derby PRO software if you do not have a compatible timer.

  • Drag Racing interface adds the ability to link your Derby PRO software to a GritTimer drag racing timing system to give you overall times for each lane as well as speed information at both sensor sets.  Adds drag racing timer tree interface that gives you audible cues at each timing tree mark to enhance racers start performance.

  • Best Time feature when used with a GritTimer gives you the top 10 best finishers relative to their overall finish time.  This is useful in giving out additional awards to your racers.

  • Auto-announcer feature automates the announcement of who won.  The software will actually announce the racer's name using it's built in speech engine Derby BOT.  Derby BOT can read virtually any name.  This feature can be turned off if you plan on using a standard announcer.

  • Auto-announcer fields feature makes it easy for an announcer by giving him/her an info area similar to a teleprompter.  The allows you to use a professional DJ or announcer to announce your event even though they may not understand the inner workings of a soap box derby race.

  • Race View allows you to see all of the soap box derby brackets for all divisions.  The brackets are also color coded to show you what stage each heat is in.

  • Upcoming Heats View allows your soap box derby race manager to monitor the upcoming heats and to move them around as needed.  You don't have to run the heat that the computer tells you to.  Even though the race is automated you always have 100% control of your race.  Heats that have been completed can also be re-ran.

  • Completed Heats View allows you to view any completed run and its results.  This is a great documentation tool for storing on your computer or answering questions from soap box derby parents.

  • Race History View allows anyone to view the history of a soap box derby racer as well as telling them when the racer will be up next.  You can view every run down the hill that the racer performed with the time and race results.  This is critical in answering questions from racers.

  • Graveyard View gives your workers important information telling them which cars have finished racing and do not need to be brought back up.

  • Race Statistics keep track and display throughout the race which lane has one more times and by what percent.

  • Winner's List shows you a quick view of each winning place at the end of the race making it easy for you to hand out the soap box derby trophies.  Just print this page and head to the awards ceremony.

  • Derby NET Server is included in every Derby PRO software package.  This server allows you to have a main computer connected to your timer while having up to 10 other computers viewing the race through a network.  Through security only 1 of these has the capability of controlling the race (race manager's computer).  Each computer (including the server) will need to have a licensed copy of Derby PRO installed.
