Track Readiness

Track Readiness helps you answer the question that matters before loading the car: is this car ready for the next session or event?

TrackOut combines your tire, brake, fluid, inspection, track-day, and session data into one color-coded view, then gives you guided workflows before and after the event.

Where readiness appears

Read the readiness panel

Open a car and check the Readiness panel near the top of the summary. The panel shows the next event for that car and a row for each readiness check.

Common checks include:

• Tire tread -- worst mounted corner and whether the latest tread reading is fresh enough
• Front and rear brake pads -- latest measured thickness against the replacement floor
• Brake fluid and engine oil -- whether service history is current enough for track use
• Inspection -- whether the car's inspection date is still valid

Each row uses the same verdict language across TrackOut:

Click a row to jump to the right next action. For example, tire tread can open the tread-depth logger, brake checks can send you to the Wear tab, and fluid or inspection checks can send you to the service log.

Run a pre-event check

When the car has an upcoming event, click Run pre-event check from the readiness panel. TrackOut opens a focused checklist for that event so you can confirm the same readiness items in person.

Use it while packing or at the paddock:

1. Open the car's readiness panel.
2. Click Run pre-event check.
3. Work through each check and add notes where needed.
4. Save the walkthrough so TrackOut records when the car was last checked.

The last walkthrough timestamp appears in the readiness panel, so you can tell whether the pre-event ritual has already been done.

Prep from an event card

Registered event rows and Up Next cards also surface readiness where you are planning the day:

• Assign car menus show a readiness dot for each active car so you can pick a car with clear prep status before committing it to the event.
• Track Day Prep progress shows how many checklist items are done for registration-backed events.
• Pre-event checklist opens a side sheet that combines the prep checklist with loggable measurements for the assigned car.

Use the sheet to check off packing and admin items, mark all remaining prep items ready, or enter fresh readings for tire tread, brake pad thickness, and wear-tracked parts. Those measurements update the readiness verdict anywhere the car appears.

Readiness reminder emails

TrackOut can send a pre-event readiness email for each upcoming event in the reminder window. The email highlights the overall verdict, shows the readiness rows, and links back to the full check in TrackOut.

These reminders are designed for the days before an event, whether the car needs attention or everything is green. All-clear emails confirm that prep looks good, while attention and blocked emails tell you what to inspect before loading the car.

Pre-session brief

For eligible upcoming sessions, the track day detail page can show a short Pre-session brief above the day header. The brief summarizes what to focus on next using the event, schedule, weather, car, and recent session context TrackOut already has.

If the brief is available, use it as a quick mental reset before the next run. You can refresh it when the underlying context changes, such as weather or schedule details.

Post-event recap

After an event, open the post-event recap to capture the details that are easy to forget once the car is back in the garage:

• How the car or tires felt: Fresh, Predictable, Greasy, or Off
• Optional worst-corner tread depth
• Notes about anything unusual
• Event costs, including gas, tires, track fees, and other spend

Submitting the recap updates the event record. If you submit again, TrackOut treats the latest recap as the current version, so you can fix a typo or add a forgotten cost.
