T&S Software written by Bill Lampkin has been around since 95 or 96. I
believe he has a version for each year. Its a windows based program. It
does the cone count, will print preliminary and final reports, grid
sheets, dand driver/class/vehicle data base, etc. The region has the T&S
96 version and is only used for divisionals events.
In order for the computer operator to keep up with the data (car at the
line, cone count, etc.) entry, the grid would need to stacked and run in
numerical order by class just like a divisional or national event.
The software works fine.
