Offering Performance Software Since 1987

Carfor Logo


A Computer Program designed for the motor sports enthusiast. Performance software that does the math for YOU. Handy Car Formulas for high performance math that will help you to analyze your (Street / Drag Racing, Circle Track, Oval Track, Road Racing, Off-Road) Car / Motorcycle / Kart / Engine and chassis needs, and improve performance. American or Metric Input (This is some what Limited). The menus are straightforward and "fill-in-the-blanks" data entry will get your answer. The most important thing to remember is that the more accurate your input to the program, the more accurate the answer will be. Although some examples may show only one or two decimal places the program will accept however many you key in, but any more then seven will not hold accuracy.

System Requirements for CARFOR:   A PC with Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, or XP and 64 MB of Ram. NOTE: Since I do not have VISTA, I have been unable to test the Program under VISTA. I have gotten a report back from one of my customers who says "works great thanks", I also have another person who was able to run the DEMO. You must have a minimum screen resolution of 800 by 600. We recommend 1024 by 768. An Intel Pentium or equivalent processor. For the Graphics Functions, Piston Acceleration / Velocity / Position and, Acceleration and Top Speed Predictions a faster processor will improve processing speed. A printer is optional. The printer is only needed if you want to make a hard copy of a form.

The default values for each cell are coded into the program. The program will create a carfor.prm file for you, when you tell it to "Write Parameter File". This means the default values that the program uses once changed can be stored and recalled at a later time. This option lets you call the file whatever name you want, so you can create more than one. When you load the program you can than "Read Parameter File" for the car you want to work on. The user can at any point while running the program Read or Write whatever parameter file they want.
___________________________________
Each form with all the information on it can be printed.

In version 3.5.1 the Metric Mode was added".
Print Forms Options / Menu

In checking out the forms below Note a cell with a red background is a calculated output. A cell with a yellow background is for user input only. A cell with a green background is used for both input and out based on which command button you click. When you move the mouse over a command button a window shows on the bottom of the form that gives you more information about which inputs are used by that command.
