In addition to the basics, I think it accurately measures velocity, rather than speed, from the gate. Again, maybe some of the more seasoned tourney players know what it is, but outside of national tournaments, I've never seen it. And certainly have never seen anyone at the track or OTB using it.
I did see a couple of laptop screens with a program similar to what you are referring. May not be what your talking about but it looked almost like a personal program because of the graphics or lack of.
A great experience for me and was able to meet and cap with some really nice people, a really nice group of guys at our table. I can only hope to Experience this event again in the future.
