Clubs
Do we need internet at the track?
No. The club laptop runs the whole day on its own, and phones at the track see results over the club’s wifi or a hotspot. Results go online whenever the laptop next has signal, even if that’s back at the clubrooms.
Do riders need transponders?
Clubs can time with transponders, finish-line cameras or both. The cameras time a bike that has no transponder, and a volunteer can tap numbers on a tablet to confirm who crossed.
What gear do we need?
A laptop (Windows or Mac), a camera or two at the finish line plugged into it, a transponder reader if you use one, and a tablet for sign-on. We’ll go through it with you and help you pick.
How do online entries and payments work?
Parents enter every rider in the family on one page, accept the club’s terms and pay by bank transfer with a reference. The club pastes its bank statement into the desk and each payment matches its entry. Card payments are coming.
Does it follow MNZ rules?
The desk works out the classification for you, including the 65% lap rule and the chequered flag, and prints race sheets with the lap chart for the noticeboard.
How are protests handled?
There’s a protest window and sign-off for each race. Every crossing keeps a still, so a disputed lap is settled by looking at it, and every change records who made it.
What does it cost?
A yearly club licence with unlimited race days and no per-event fee. We’re setting prices with our first clubs, so talk to us.
Parents and riders
Is the app free?
Yes. Lap timing with your phone camera at practice, race results and a rider profile are free. Pro adds bike maintenance and a family calendar for NZ$20 a month or NZ$200 a year, with 14 days free to try it.
How do I get my clips?
When your club runs its race day on Extreme Timing, every lap you ride is filmed at the finish line. Open your result and your clip of each lap is there, with your number, name, place and time on it, ready to save or share.
Where do I pay for Pro?
On this website, in your account. Never through an app store. Card changes, receipts and cancelling are in your account too.
My club doesn’t use Extreme Timing.
Tell them about it, or find your club in our list and let us know. The practice app works anywhere, with or without a club.
What about riders under 16?
A parent or guardian makes the account and enters the rider. At sign-on, a parent or guardian signs the club’s terms for any rider under 18.
Who sees the video?
A rider’s clips are theirs to share or not. Footage with nobody crossing the line is deleted.
Schools and events
Can we use it for a one-off event?
Yes. Set the entry dates, classes, fees and place limits, ask your own questions, and switch on guardian consent and medical questions. Talk to us about the event and we’ll set it up with you.
Can parents who can’t be there follow along?
Yes. Results go online as the day runs whenever the laptop has signal, and every rider’s clips are there afterwards.
