Fremont, MI - December 24, 2013 - Happy Holidays to all my Race Director friends.  What a wonderful year 2013 has been.  A little scary retiring from a "secure" job I liked a lot to concentrate fully on the "fun" job that I really, really love.  What it comes down to though, is not the work, but the people.  I've got such a wonderfully loyal, friendly, easy to work with customer base.  I really appreciate all of you.

I'm really happy about the improvements that we've been able to deliver for next year's release.  There are over 50 customers using RD 2014 now and all seem to be producing excellent results.

Rejoice in the spirit of Christmas which is Peace,
the miracle of Christmas which is Hope,
and the heart of Christmas which is Love

Hollywood, FL - November 7, 2013 -  The first ever Race Director user conference was a great success.  Thirty Race Director users along with three Partner representatives met for a full day on November 6th in Hollywood Florida. 
The meeting was held the day before the official start of the 2013 Road Race Management meeting at the same location. 
The morning was spent going through a beginning to end demo of Race Director setup and various scoring scenarios.  During the demonstration, many of the new 2014 software enhancements were covered. 
In the afternoon, we saw presentations from Run Sign Up, Xact and CT Live - Three partners where we have major integration capabilities built into Race Director 2014.  We finished off the day by looking at the major change coming in RD 2014 - Timing Points.
