VERSION 5.01
- Added the vehicle owner’s name to the round losers printout since it was suggested that at
some tracks the owner signs for the payout, not the driver. Both names will appear on the
printout so that either one can sign for the payout.
- Removed the words “EVENT SPONSORS:” from the print headers so that if no sponsors
were being used, there would only be an empty line on the header.
- CARS will now check if a vehicle has lost in a previous round when running bracket
racing(ladder round = 8). If the vehicle lost and is trying to race again, CARS will send the
message “* LOST PREVIOUSLY *” to the timer in place of the driver name so the timer
operator can be alerted of the situation.

enhancement that was added in version 5.03.
