What does Circle Track App do well?

Wehrs Machine builds suspension components, birdcages, J-bars and setup tools that fill dirt modified and late model pits every weekend. Their standout digital advantage is hardware integration: if your shop uses WM Bluetooth Load Sticks to measure compressed suspension loads and smash numbers, Circle Track App captures and graphs those readings directly without typing numbers by hand.

It also stores part numbers alongside car specs, which makes reordering heim joints, brackets or suspension hardware straightforward after a crash.

Where does RaceNight fit better?

Most grassroots teams mix and match tools across brands: Longacre or Intercomp scales, an analog or digital load stick, a QuickCar stagger tape and a tire pyrometer. RaceNight stays completely hardware-agnostic and optimizes for rapid manual or quick-pick entry in dark pits with zero cell signal. You can still record load-stick and smash measurements right alongside cross-weight, panhard bar heights and shock clicks, then ask the AI Crew Chief which adjustment calmed down corner-exit wheelspin the last time the track slicked off.

For maintenance, pairing RaceNight Pro with RacePrep goes beyond simple calendar reminders by counting actual laps run on every component from engines and transmissions down to hubs and rod bolts, while letting your crew members join the team on their own phones for free.

Pick Circle Track App if, pick RaceNight if

  • Pick Circle Track App if: your setup routine revolves around Wehrs Machine Bluetooth Load Sticks and you want direct Bluetooth load capture from WM hardware.
  • Pick RaceNight if: you use mixed-brand shop scales and gauges, race any dirt, asphalt or kart class, want an AI Crew Chief trained on your own setup history, and want lap-based part wear tracking in RacePrep.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. RaceNight supports custom and class-specific fields for 4-link angles, pull bars, lift bars, shock travel, bump stops and load-stick measurements, even if you measure with a non-Bluetooth gauge.

Does RaceNight require buying specific scales or sensors?

No. RaceNight works with any scale pad, stagger tape or pyrometer you already own in your trailer.

Is RacePrep free for my pit crew?

Yes. When the car owner subscribes to RacePrep or RaceNight Pro, invited crew members get free access on iOS and Android to run weekly checklists and update shared parts shopping lists.
