A newer hobbyshop near me built a track and me and my son have been running the races there. It's club racing only at this point. We get up to about 20 racers at a race day.
I chose Alycat because of the voice synthesis and the "race director" can easily program the evenings race's and just walk away as the timer runs, if he chooses to. Currently, because it's club racing, more and more of the regulars are learning to setup races and run the software by themselves.
If Doug's software had this same ability I'd go out of my way to get a hold of it to try it out.
The only time I've had problems with Alycat is when I've caused them myself.
We run Alycat with I-Lap Timing hardware, not AMB, and it all works great.
I think almost all of the race mangement software let you had a demo. The only downside of this is the learning curve each software will have so it would cost you time.
I bet you could find tracks near you who run either Alycat or RCSP...go there and sit with a race director......
