About
Built by a racer, not a faceless platform.
go.atspeed.tech is a one-person project by Vince Coleman to help RC clubs run better events, registrations, and race days.
I'm Vince Coleman, and I've been a racer, organiser, and web developer for more than a decade.
go.atspeed.tech is an independent booking platform built specifically around RC club realities. I'm building the registration and race-day tools I know clubs and racers need because I've seen how much work goes into keeping meetings, championships, entries, payments, and race days moving.
Clubs should have proper software and practical support without taking on a monthly bill. That's why the platform is always free for clubs. After beta, booking fees will help cover hosting, support, development time, startup resources for new clubs, and the ongoing work needed to keep improving the tools. During beta, there aren't any go.atspeed booking fees while the platform is being tested properly.
For racers
Find clubs, see what's coming up, and register to race without digging through scattered posts and spreadsheets.
For clubs
Publish events and championships, take registrations, manage entries, and keep race-day admin under control.
For organisers
Build a community where organisers can share what works, solve problems together, and help RC grow.
The mission
My mission is to support as many RC clubs as possible, not just with booking software, but with the resources, setup guidance, and shared organiser knowledge that help new clubs get started and existing clubs grow.
go.atspeed hosts tools for RC, starting with the track designer and the booking platform. The bigger goal is a community of organisers who support each other with the shared vision of growing RC, connecting racers to clubs around the world, and getting more racers on track.

AI assistant support

Agentic use
Built so AI agents can help with real RC booking work.
The long-term plan is for go.atspeed.tech to expose enough safe structure for racers and organisers to use their own AI assistants without losing control of bookings, payments, or club rules.
Racers finding and entering races
A racer should be able to ask their AI to find suitable RC races, compare dates, classes, venues, and booking rules, then help them enter through the normal go.atspeed checkout flow.
Organisers managing entries
Club organisers should be able to use their AI agent for routine dashboard work, such as checking entries, preparing race-day data, answering setup questions, and spotting admin that needs attention.
Safer entry changes
When racers ask to move an entry to another class or championship round, an organiser's agent should be able to inspect capacity, payment state, rules, and deadlines before suggesting or carrying out the right platform action.
Permission-aware automation
Agent access needs to stay scoped to the signed-in user, the club roles they actually hold, and the same confirmation steps used for sensitive booking, payment, refund, and publishing actions.
Club Hub
A support network and knowledge base for RC club organisers.
Club Hub is planned as the place where new and existing clubs can find the practical information they need to start, improve, and keep running RC events.
Booking software solves one part of the problem. Clubs also need clear guidance on the practical work around RC events: how to structure a first race day, choose classes, set booking rules, handle reserves, publish useful event information, prepare timing data, and communicate clearly with racers.
Club Hub is planned as a support network around those jobs. It should bring together organiser guides, setup checklists, examples from real RC clubs, and space for clubs to share what works instead of every new organiser having to start from scratch.
Starting a club
Guides for the basics: venues, race formats, classes, memberships, volunteers, first-event setup, and getting racers on track.
Running events well
Operational notes for bookings, reserves, refunds, race-day exports, communication, and keeping admin manageable.
Organiser support network
A route for RC organisers to compare approaches, ask questions, share templates, and learn from clubs facing the same problems.
Living knowledge base
Documentation that grows with the platform, covering go.atspeed workflows and the wider club knowledge needed to make events sustainable.
