Version 6: Built for Speed at Scale
RaceDay Scoring V6 completes a multi-year rebuild in Rust, a language designed for high-speed processing and memory safety. Even under heavy load, with thousands of chip reads, split points and results pushing out, background tasks finish in as little as 50 milliseconds. Run reports, edit participants and adjust timing logic mid-race without waiting on the software.

What Timers Are Saying About RaceDay Scoring
“I hate change! But I like the ease of RDS and the integration with RunSignup is a big time saver. They keep improving and adding requested features, too.”
– Terri LaPoint Kaczor
“I got into timing 3-4 years ago so I went straight to RaceDay Scoring. As someone who was a beginner, I found RDS to be very intuitive, easy to understand, and the support is great.”
– Jimmy Balmer
“We were reluctant to change after using the same software for 12 years. We have no regrets changing; do it!
– Ryan Walsh
