Are you tired of using an Excel spreadsheet to manage your events? Race Manager is specifically designed for organizations to manage their motorsports events, memberships, races and dues. This easy to use software will simplify the way you run and keep track of your members and organization.



Our software allows you to do more for your organization - do more events and races, and do it more efficiently. Ships with a free interface for AMB's Orbits and ChronX timing systems. Learn more


Race Driver Pro is designed for the competitor or crew chief and has one simple goal - to organize your track session data so you can identify your strengths and go faster. Race Driver Pro works with cars, trucks, karting, motorcycles, R/C and more.



Track all your sessions--practice, qualifying, or race, and save data on tire temps, tire pressure, oil, water, gearing, shock/spring settings and much more. For each session, it charts you and your competitors, what they are turning in lap times and it shows how you practiced, qualified, and raced at each venue.



It also interfaces with several world-class timing systems like AMB, the MoTeC and MyChron data acquisition systems, and Alfano, iCard, Intercomp and Hot Lap timing systems. Learn more


GrandPrix Race Manager software will help you manage your Cub Scout Pinewood Derby, Awana Grand Prix, Space Derby, Raingutter Regatta or similar race. GrandPrix Race Manager handles everything from registering racers to determining award winners, making your race more organized, shorter and enjoyable for all.


Most any manager can manage well, or at least look good managing, when times are good. Retention is as easy as it will ever be, budgets tend to grow to hide lack of controls, and others want to join your team, so hiring is easy too.


But during tough economic times, the professional manager has to manage with more effectiveness than at almost any other time. She is distracted by her own concerns, while having to keep tabs on the concerns of her team. She has to listen to the rumors flying around about layoffs and mergers and industry moves, and then apply them not only to her situation, but also make sense of them for her team.

The following races are made by 5hinzou. All hail to him as he did the remaster graphics!

They have different spawn table and unit properties. They can play together with my version, e.g Zerg vs Zerg FFA :)


This defines how enemy expand into new area. In base game, each building group build one building at a time. This

feature changes that they build several buildings at one time with specified formation.


Please use the "Reset to default biters" button to replace ERM enemies with default biters before you remove the mod.

Otherwise, your map won't have any enemies on generated chucks as the ERM enemies are removed automatically.


My name is Gil Robs and I am the race director (RD) and founder of CandleLight 12 Hour (CL12). I ran my first ultra marathon in 2007. It was Bull Run Run 50 miler. It was supposed to be one and done, bucket list item. For few month after I had no desire to run another insanely long distance race. As memories of pain and agony faded away I started to realize that I enjoyed entire journey, not just the race. I enjoyed training, preparing, planning, traveling, pre-race insecurities, starting too fast, swearing never ever do something this stupid again, hitting the wall (more than once), seeing finish line, crossing finish line, achy muscles for about week or so. I signed up for my next 50 miler but I did not finish - my first of many ultra DNFs - but I fell in love with the sport.


After few years of being active ultra runner I started to increase how often I would volunteer at the races, particularly ultras. Experience at 2012 Virgil Crest 50M/100M was a turning point for me. Since I was ultra veteran I had a better understanding of what race participants might be feeling, I could relate, I felt I could guess when they will ask for even before them saying a word, I felt what I to tell a runner in distress to get him/her going again. Somewhere around that time I thought eventually I would not minding directing an ultra.


Two now former race directors approached me and asked if I am interested taking over the races they managed and I agreed. I felt I was ready. I used to be elite runner about 26+ years and 60+ lbs ago. Then there many were extended periods when I did not run at all, when I resumed running I was back of the pack runner, eventually I became slightly faster and moved up to middle-of-the-pack group. I still had big enough ego and with persistent training I managed to become fast enough to challenge for top spots at handful ultras placing at three of them. I had accumulated enough experience volunteering and for a year I was co-race director for CanLake50. Since I worked as IT project manager I thought that even my professional experience will be helpful. I agreed to take over Mind The Ducks 12 Hour and CanLake 50.


However I never started a race from scratch and I knew that I would like to do so one day. Idea to organize CL12 was pitched to me at the end of the 2015 Mind The Ducks 12 Hour (MTD12) by one of the runners asking if we could do similar race but overnight. MTD12 is has almost exact format as CL12 except it's daytime ultra. I thought - why not.


Once I had an idea for the race I needed a catchy name. I pretty much was mulling in my head different ideas since May of 2015 but none of the names I came up with, none of the names suggested by my friends had catchy sound, the "it" factor, something I was happy with.


Name was pitched to me by hairdresser at Supercuts. It was the day before 2015 CanLake50 and I stopped by Supercuts to get a haircut. Like most hairdressers she felt a need to engage into small talk and I am pretty sure that most typical question asked by hairdresser to client in the morning hours is - what are your plans for the today. I was telling that I am organizing this ultra race next day in Canandaigua. She asked me what is the name of the race. I said - CanLake50. Was it my accent or her hearing aids but somehow she heard "Candlelight 50". I corrected her that it was not Candlelight but CanLake however I thanked her since at that moment I was 99.9% sure that the new race will include "Candlelight" in the title.


Anyone who has run, crewed, paced, volunteered, or spectated at the Javelina 100 Mile or the Black Canyon Ultras in Arizona has crossed paths with Jubilee Paige. One of the most ebullient and fun-loving race directors out there, Paige is known for her extensive wardrobe of creative costumes, impeccable race organization, and a spirit of joy that is embedded into both of her high-volume events. I sat down with Paige recently as she was preparing to direct the Javelina 100 Mile later this month.


Jubilee Paige: I joined Aravaipa Running in the spring of 2016 as an office manager and general administrator, and within a year was promoted to race director. This will be my seventh year as the race director for Javelina and Black Canyon.

Version 23.0 is part of the fourth generation of this software (V1 Shareware, V2-6, V7-15, V16-?). This generation is a major overhaul of the software to accomplish two main goals. The first is to make the software as user friendly and intuitive as possible. The second is to make the software compatible with both Windows and macOS. This was a major undertaking, as the software had to be written in a different programming language, but we are proud of the results and believe that you will find the software even more useful and easier to use.
