FAQ

SlipTracker is an online platform for recording and sharing drag racing time slips, results, vehicles and racing history. Racers can upload their timeslips and build an ongoing record of their performance at the drag strip.

A drag racing time slip is the result produced after a run down the drag strip. Depending on the track and race distance, it can contain reaction time, 60-foot time, 330-foot time, eighth-mile elapsed time and speed, 1000-foot time, quarter-mile elapsed time and terminal speed. SlipTracker turns that paper time slip into a digital racing record.

Take a clear photograph of your time slip and upload it through SlipTracker. The system reads the slip and extracts the available timing information. You can review the result and associate it with your vehicle and other relevant racing information.

Yes. SlipTracker supports both eighth-mile and quarter-mile drag racing results.

Yes. Racer Profiles are designed to bring your racing history together in one place, including your results, vehicles, tracks, racing experience, achievements and other career information. The goal is to create a motorsport résumé that grows alongside your racing history.

Yes. Racers can record multiple vehicles so their time slips and racing history can be associated with the correct car, motorcycle or other drag racing vehicle.

Yes. SlipTracker uses uploaded results to create leaderboards across different vehicle and racing categories. Leaderboards are only one part of SlipTracker, however. The platform is designed to recognise participation and racing history as well as outright performance.

SlipTracker is being developed as an international drag racing platform and already contains racing activity from multiple countries. As the community grows, so will the number of racers, tracks, events and results represented on the platform.

SlipTracker is intended to remain accessible to grassroots racers. The aim is to make it easy for racers to preserve their results and participate in the wider SlipTracker community without putting basic racer participation behind a paywall.

Old drag racing time slips are pieces of motorsport history. Uploading them can preserve performances that might otherwise be lost and can help build a more complete record of your vehicles and racing career. A time slip from years ago can be just as interesting as one from last weekend.

No. The purpose of SlipTracker is to record the information contained on the original drag racing time slip. Racers can review information extracted from the slip so the digital record accurately reflects the original result.

The goal is to build a worldwide record of grassroots drag racing. Individual time slips become racing histories. Those histories build Racer Profiles. Together, racers, vehicles, tracks, events and results can create a much larger picture of the drag racing community. SlipTracker is being built so the history doesn't disappear when the paper time slip does.
