The Bracket Racer

Features

Know your number before you stage. The Bracket Racer predicts your car's next elapsed time from live track weather, then learns your car from every run you save — so your suggested dial-in gets sharper every meeting. Built for bracket racers, with live weather for major strips including Willowbank, Sydney Dragway, Perth Motorplex, The Bend, Warwick, Springmount, Calder Park, South Coast, Mildura and Hidden Valley — plus manual weather entry for anywhere else. HOW IT WORKS Save one baseline run — your ET, 60ft, MPH and the density altitude it was set in. From there the app corrects your prediction for the air you're actually racing in: density altitude, humidity, barometric pressure and headwind or tailwind down your strip's true heading. IT LEARNS YOUR CAR Every run you save teaches the predictor. It weighs runs from the same track and similar air more heavily, ignores the odd bad pass instead of averaging it in, and shows you exactly how much it has learned. Watch the accuracy build with your run history. MADE FOR RACE DAY - Live suggested dial-in, updating as the air changes - Density altitude trend — see the air improving or fading between rounds - Head/tailwind effect calculated for your track's actual direction - Full weather board: DA, correction factors, dew point, wet bulb, water grains, vapor pressure and more - Optional 60ft correction for track conditions - Run log organised by track and race day, with prediction-vs-actual accuracy at a glance - Supports quarter-mile classes and Junior Dragster eighth-mile No ads. No tracking. Your run data belongs to you, and you can export or delete it any time. From club brackets to championship rounds — spend less time guessing and more time cutting lights.
