From this page you can view the riders and results for every heat of the meeting.

If you are viewing a meeting from the current year then you can also enter the results directly using the detailed view at the top:

• Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap - Tap the score boxes next to the riders in the order that they have finished and all their scores will be updated automatically. If a rider has not completed the race (e.g. engine failure or fall) then tap his score box again to change the entry to DNF (Did Not Finish). If you make any mistakes, simply tap a score box again to go back to the 'Tap' option.
• Sub - Tapping this will denote that the current rider has not taken part in the race and has been replaced by a track reserve. Tapping it again will revert back to the original rider.
• Pick - (Displayed for Semi Finals and Grand Final) - This will allow you to select the riders in Red, Blue, White and Yellow for the appropriate race, using an intelligent rider picker that lists the appropriate 4 riders in order of gate choice.
