depending upon the age of your mac it should have an intel OS platform installed in it. in which case you can run both windows and mac OS programs

Basically, if it were not for the Microsoft monoloply and this sport wasn't such a niche, you'd likely see Mac versions of popular race software. For those of us that write the software, there just isn't enough of a market to justify the effort to make versions for each operating system.
I do know of some that have been able to use my race software on a Mac, but they have some type of Windows emulator installed so they can run Windows programs.

Mac users (and others) should take a look at DerbyNet, an open-source (i.e., free), web-based race management system: jeffpiazza.github.com/derbynet. Developed on a Mac, it's built around a web server, and supports multiple simultaneous clients. In the derbies I run, I can control the event entirely from my iPad while I walk around. The check-in desk uses multiple laptops and webcams to get racers checked in. A projector shows the main racing board, while a couple "smart TVs" in the room simultaneously present supplemental information (per-racer stats, etc.). Another tablet on the impound table lets the wrangler know what cars to stage for the next heat. DerbyNet presently supports FastTrack and Champ timers.
