There are no delivery dates on this page, and there won't be. DragDuro is built by a very small team around a racing calendar. A date published here would be a guess in a suit, and a missed one costs you more than no date ever did.
So the page runs from least settled to most. Work actually underway comes first, because that is the news. Ideas we mean to look at come next — one line each, on purpose, because writing more would make an idea look like a plan. Then everything already shipped, every item carrying the day it landed. Last, the things we have decided we are never going to build.
If you race: the built section is what will be on your phone at the next event. If you run an event: it is what you would be handing your field. Neither depends on anything above it.
The left edge tells you whether something can still move. A dashed edge means the work is provisional — it may change shape, or drop off entirely. A solid edge means it is fixed: shipped and dated, or decided and closed. Detail is rationed by how finished a thing is. Shipped work gets a date and a description, because you can go and use it. Work underway gets a sentence. An idea gets one line and nothing else — no mockups, no specifics, because there aren't any yet and inventing some would turn an intention into a promise. The last section is decisions rather than gaps, published so you get the answer here instead of having to ask for it.
Started, partly landed, still moving. Deliberately undated — see the top of the page.
Our own map covers the continental US. The first half has shipped: a view outside that coverage now behaves correctly instead of quietly dropping to a third-party map. Drawing the rest of the world at low zoom is the open half, and it may end up scoped smaller than that.
One line each, and that is the whole entry. These are directions we mean to take, in no particular order, with nothing designed and nobody working on them today. Any of them may change shape or drop off the page.
This app is only as good as the feedback we get. Tell us what broke, what slowed you down, or what you wish it did — we read all of it, and every fix so far started as a racer's or a promoter's note. There is no ticket system behind this on purpose: it opens the channels you already use, so there is nothing to store or keep online.
Oldest first, so it reads as what it is: ten weeks of accumulation, not an announcement. Every date is the day the capability reached people, not the day it was finished internally. Several share a date — the project is young and things shipped in batches.
The driver app draws the exact route the organiser set, shows how far off it you have drifted and where to rejoin. Driving directions are handed to Google Maps for the next stop only; the line stays the source of truth.
Mandatory stops inside a geofence the organiser sizes. Progress is the set of checkpoints you have checked off, not where you are — so you can leave the route for fuel or a repair and rejoin anywhere without losing any of it.
Add it to your home screen on Android or iPhone. It starts with no connection, and everything you have already looked at keeps drawing when coverage drops mid-leg.
A public map of roughly 5,000 E85 stations. Open or closed is judged on the station's own local clock rather than your phone's, so crossing a time zone at dusk still gives the right answer.
Raise an SOS with a category and a note. It appears on every other racer's map and in the organiser's console until it is resolved, and it stops broadcasting on its own. The app is explicit that this is not a 911 call.
Download the map for the corridor you are about to drive, so the leg with no bars still has a map under you.
An overlay that names each button on the screen and explains the map's own icons, so nobody has to work the app out in a staging lane.
At a stop, take a selfie and get a finished, branded card to post, at square, portrait or story shape. The whole thing is made on your phone and the photo never leaves it.
Two walkthroughs of the app that play out on a real map — a demo drive that follows the line and hits its stops, and a spotlight over each control in turn.
Turn calls read aloud so a solo driver can keep their eyes up. Opt-in, because plenty of cars are far too loud for it to be any use.
The badge appears only where a limit is genuinely recorded in the underlying map data. On a typical route it shows nothing about a quarter of the time — that is the feature working, not failing.
"Turn right onto M-66", not "Turn right". Road names are prepared for the route in advance, so they work with no signal, and the card grows as the turn approaches.
Flag hazards, road conditions and — where the organiser enables it — police. Pins are maintained by the field, so a stale one doesn't sit on the map all day.
Automatic flips the map just after sunset at your own position rather than on a clock, so a long westward leg darkens when the sky does.
The basemap under the driver app is now rendered by us from open data. No third party can pull the map out from under an event halfway through a leg.
Road-snapped drawing, drag any part of the line to reroute it, detours, checkpoint placement and naming, address search and a deep undo stack. Import a GPX you already have, or export one.
Export two PDFs for any route: a checkpoint checklist with mileages and a blank notes column, and a turn-by-turn sheet split by leg, every turn carrying a real map of the spot.
Your event belongs to an organisation with staff, roles and an audit trail, so it does not live or die with one person's account.
Put sponsors, service trucks and partners on the racers' map. Letting racers apply for a pin is per-event and off unless you turn it on; you approve or decline with a reason either way.
A kiosk page for a TV at the track: the route, the legs, current road conditions and any racer needing help.
You publish one line and the racer drives one line. Legs between tracks are worked out from your own strip locations for the printed sheets and the big screen.
Visitor counts and a geographic heatmap for your event pages. No per-racer tracking and nobody identified — the numbers are for your sponsor deck, not surveillance.
Block an account from raising an SOS, filing reports or applying as a vendor. Enforced on our side, not merely hidden in the app.
Nothing you are working on is reachable by anyone until you publish it. Unpublish and it goes away again.
The offline map along the corridor, the speed-limit data and the road names all rebuild the moment you publish or re-draw. Change one leg and only that leg is rebuilt, so your racers are not re-downloading a map that did not move.
Upload card art for square, portrait and story shapes, or just a logo, in any combination. Anything you leave empty falls back to the standard card at that shape, and your art shows live in the racer's viewfinder.
Every SOS call and road report for your events in one place, so you can see what's happening as it happens.
What's underway, what's on the list, everything shipped with the day it landed, and what we've decided against — in one place instead of scattered across social posts.
Closed decisions, not things we have yet to get to. Publishing them is the point: a "no" you can read today beats a "maybe" you have to chase.
We will not build it. An SOS and a road report are the only two positions a racer ever broadcasts — both chosen by them, both expiring. We keep no record of who checked in where.
Proof is the racer's own photo on their own feed, exactly as it always was. We are the route, not the referee, and we do not want to be the authority on who finished.
An SOS that cannot reach us cannot summon help. Holding one silently would tell a racer help is coming when it is not, so the app says it cannot send instead.
It would mean standing dependencies on third-party social platforms and their approval processes. Settled, not deferred.
The app already installs to a home screen on both Android and iPhone. A store listing would buy discoverability, not capability, against a permanent second thing to keep in step.
Not something we are going to run. If something is wrong during your event, you should hear it from a person.
All considered and turned down. A phone mounted in a race car is the most crowded screen at the event; each of these costs attention and earns very little.
A multi-day route is one route to a racer. Progress is checkpoints, not days, so there is nothing to switch between. Legs still appear on the printed sheets and the big screen.
