Support / Building Tracks, Series, Events, etc. / Track Builds

Track Type

• There are a variety of Track Types built already in the Dashboards, but if you need to add a Track Type, it’s very simple
  • Go to Track Type in the Dashboard menu
  • Type the Track Type you want to add and Save it

Assets

• The first thing to do is duplicate the Basecamp To-Do list so you can be working through that, and to drop all of the form data and assets that you receive into the Track Message Board in Basecamp.
• In the Track Build to-do template, it contains info about resizing the assets (logo and track image), so you can do that and post them in Basecamp and Box
• If the logo is a PNG and the image is a JPG, you’ll use the ImageOptim app to shrink the files

Info / Build

• In the Dashboard, go to Tracks and click the orange plus sign in the upper right of the screen.
• Select the Track Logo and Image (the resized versions)
• Enter the track name as it will display in the app
  • Be mindful of using any special characters, especially “/” as that will cause signed waivers NOT to save to Box appropriately
    • You CAN use parentheses or dashes
      • Ie. For the 1/5-mile at Charlotte, we had to spell it out to “Charlotte Motor Speedway – Fifth-Mile Dirt Track”
• If the track name is really long, enter a short name for the track. This will be used when they send text messages to use fewer characters.
  • ie. South Boston Speedway could have the short name SoBo
• Enter the physical / GPS address of the track
• Enter the track’s phone number, time zone, website and schedule URLs
  • The schedule URL is not required if they don’t have a dedicated page for the schedule
• Select the Track Type, and then enter the Track Size in miles
  • You do NOT need to enter the word “miles” as it will populate automatically  
• Enter the track’s bio
• Enter the track social handles – you only need the part of the URL that comes after the platform
  • Ie. For Pit Pay’s FB page https://www.facebook.com/PitPayApp/, you would only need to enter ‘PitPayApp/’
    • If they don’t have all of the social channels, you can leave them blank
• Enter any overarching FAQs like refund policy, track contact, etc.
• Select the correct account
• Select your name in the “Added By” dropdown
• Change the status to “Publish” if everything is complete then click “Add Track”
• Open the respective app and find the track – check every link and the mapping to make sure everything works
