About

Starter's One to Go

Features
Read full description

Starter's One to Go is a specialized timing app specifically for use by motorsports race starters, designed by a starter. The app has one purpose: to help starters anticipate when to display the white flag, or "one to go" to the leader of a race. You set up the race parameters, either laps or time or both, and then push a button every time the leader crosses the start/finish line. It is an informational app reliant on the input of the starter and it does not provide nor replace official race timing. It is a free app and will always remain so.
