Know your dial before you stage.
Launch Point reads today's air, learns how a specific car responds to it, and tells you the number to run — then tracks whether that number won or cost you the round. Nothing else on the market does all three.
This page is a product and a portfolio piece: a real racing family needed an answer the market didn't sell, so Vivere built it. The same pattern applies to any industry — your need, custom-built into a working tool.
Three things, done together, that nothing else does
Static calculators tell you the air. Logbooks store your passes. Launch Point turns both into a number you can actually stage on — and then tells you if that number was right.
Read the air
Live weather pulled at the track — temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind, density altitude. No hardware required to get started.
Learn the car
A blended model — physics plus a regression trained on that car's own run history — gets sharper every pass it logs.
Log the pass
Type it or photograph the time slip. Reaction time, 60-foot, 330, eighth, MPH — pulled straight off the printed slip.
Track the outcome
Dial used, win or loss, breakout — computed, never guessed — plus whether chasing the suggested dial too tightly is costing rounds.
How it stacks up
Three real products compete here today. None combine free-API weather, a car-specific learning model, photo logging, and bracket outcome tracking in one place.

Built with a real crew, on a real track
The need: a Jr. Dragster family kept losing rounds to guesswork — dial-ins picked from static charts that ignore how their car responds to changing air. The build: Launch Point — now in active use every race weekend, the same way Castline runs live on Vivere's own channels instead of sitting in a case study. That's the Vivere pattern: find the gap the market won't fill, build the tool that fills it.
Wandell Racing
A Jr. Dragster family team running out of Western Colorado Dragway uses Launch Point as their race-day tool — weather to prediction to logged pass to bracket report, every round.
