$4.99 - buy it now. Right now.

What a fantastic app. Used it all weekend to radio Good Hands what his and much more importantly his competitor's lap times were. Great tool to tell your driver if he/she is off pace, when the next position lost time or gained it. Great info. For $4.99. Very handy.

No more multiple stopwatches to keep track of your guy and one other, you keep track of everyone all the time.

Watched Clash at the Glen, BFG Supertour at Mid-Ohio and the Double Nats at NJMP at once!

Way to persevere, Vaughan!

Best $4.99 ever spent! How did we live without this?

I bought it this weekend at the Glen as well, great app. The only complaint I have is that you can apparently only see the live coverage, you cant view the previous race, practice, etc.

Phenomenal app for enduros where you can adjust strategy on the fly with teammates based on your drivers times and those of the other competitors

yeah, this thing is a must-have for our Chump car team. Otherwise, we'd have no idea where we stood during 12-24 hour races. Also great for watching live races as a spectator.

Would it be overkill to have it on a tablet inside the car?

Nope. RAM mounts have the solution. You'll need an LTE/4G connection, though.

You can set the display up to show only class position so no scrolling required during the race!

We've used it at Lemons to watch our own drivers. Great app.

Love it.

No more waiting for timing and scoring sheets to know where you finished, especially in enduros. And agree about in-race strategy.

So you could look just like a police cruiser with a 14-15" display off center on the dash?...

Are most of you using I-phones or Droids?....
