The Black Book — Terms of Use

Effective Date: April 18, 2026
Version 1.1 — racer.wiki — FOR-PROFIT SERVICE

FOR-PROFIT SERVICE. The Black Book (racer.wiki) is operated by G10be, a for-profit commercial enterprise. It is NOT a charity, nonprofit, or 501(c)(3) organization. By creating an account you agree to these terms.

1. What The Black Book Is

The Black Book is a for-profit AI-powered crew chief tool for dirt track racing. It is built and operated by G10be (Lyle Gilcoat, Amarillo, Texas). The service provides race setup recommendations, weather analysis, gear calculations, surface science tools, an AI crew chief named Hunter Crank, and user-generated live streaming via Pit Reporter.

2. Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Users under 18 must have parental or guardian permission. Users under 13 may not create accounts. If you are a parent setting up The Black Book for a child under 13, you are doing so on their behalf as their guardian.

We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) including the 2025 amendments effective April 22, 2026. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover such collection, we will delete it within 30 days.

3. Data We Collect and Why

Pit Reporter data (name, car, track, video)Live stream delivery and 30-day recording. See Live Streaming Terms for full details.Supabase + Cloudflare Stream (30 days)

4. Your Data Is Yours

Zero-knowledge design: Your setup data, race history, and car data are protected by row-level security. No other user — and no G10be employee — can read your data. We technically hold it but cannot access it without breaking into our own database, which we do not do.

  • We do not sell your data to anyone.
  • We do not share your data with advertisers.
  • We do not share your data with chassis manufacturers, tire companies, or sanctioning bodies.
  • We share your data only with service providers necessary to operate the platform (Supabase for hosting, Anthropic for AI processing, Cloudflare for routing and video streaming) and law enforcement when required by law.

5. Encrypted Backup (.bbx Files)

The Backup/Restore feature creates an encrypted export of your garage data. Backup files use AES-GCM 256-bit encryption with HMAC signature verification. These files cannot be read by anyone except The Black Book's own import system. They are not human-readable. They cannot be modified without detection. Each file contains a one-time nonce — it cannot be imported twice.

Backup files expire after 90 days. Store them somewhere safe — we cannot recover a lost or corrupted .bbx file.

6. Hunter Crank — AI Disclosure

Hunter Crank is an AI, not a human crew chief. In compliance with the California BOT Disclosure Act (SB 1001) and subsequent amendments, all Hunter Crank interactions are disclosed as AI-generated. Hunter is powered by Anthropic Claude.

Hunter's recommendations are based on publicly available racing knowledge, physics models, and the data you provide. Hunter is a starting point, not a final answer. You and your crew chief make the call at the track.

7. Racing Safety Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: THE BLACK BOOK PROVIDES INFORMATIONAL CONTENT ONLY.

Setup recommendations, jetting advice, gear calls, and all other content from The Black Book and Hunter Crank are for informational and educational purposes only. They are NOT professional engineering advice, certified mechanical recommendations, or safety-certified specifications.

Racing is inherently dangerous. Always consult your chassis manufacturer, engine builder, and experienced crew chief before making setup changes. G10be assumes NO liability for mechanical failures, accidents, injuries, or any harm resulting from reliance on content provided by The Black Book or Hunter Crank.

You acknowledge that you race at your own risk. You acknowledge that setup data is highly track-specific, condition-specific, and driver-specific. A setup that works for one driver on one track on one night may be unsafe or counterproductive in different conditions.

8. Live Streaming — Pit Reporter

The Black Book includes Pit Reporter, a user-generated live video streaming feature. By using Pit Reporter as a reporter or viewer, you agree to the full Pit Reporter & Live Streaming Terms in addition to these terms. Key points:

  • You are solely responsible for obtaining all legally required consents before streaming, including consent of individuals you film.
  • You must comply with track, venue, and sanctioning body media policies.
  • Live stream recordings are retained for 30 days on Cloudflare, then permanently deleted.
  • G10be disclaims all liability for user-generated stream content.
  • G10be may terminate any stream without notice for violations of these terms or applicable law.

9. What You Own / What We Own

  • Your setup data, race logs, and notes: Yours. Always. Export it anytime. Delete it anytime.
  • Your car profiles: Yours.
  • Your live stream video: Yours, subject to Cloudflare's 30-day retention window. You grant G10be a license to transmit and temporarily store your stream for service delivery.
  • The Black Book software, Hunter Crank AI system, and database infrastructure: G10be’s.
  • Hunter’s responses: AI-generated content owned by G10be. You may use them for your personal racing purposes.

10. Subscriptions and Payments

Free tier: available to all users. Paid tiers (Pit Pass, Crew Chief, Team Owner) provide additional car slots and features. Subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe. Cancel anytime — no prorated refunds for the current billing period. We do not store your payment card details.

11. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time. Upon deletion: your email and PIN hash are deleted within 30 days; your car data and race logs are deleted within 30 days; payment records are retained for 7 years as required by tax law. Download your backup before deleting — we cannot recover deleted data.

12. Prohibited Uses

You may not use The Black Book to: scrape or harvest data; attempt to access other users’ data; reverse-engineer the Hunter Crank AI system; resell access; use automated bots or scripts; stream prohibited content via Pit Reporter (see Live Streaming Terms); or engage in any activity that disrupts the service or harms other users.

13. Disclaimers and Liability

THE BLACK BOOK IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, G10BE’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE BLACK BOOK SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO G10BE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

14. Disputes

Disputes resolved by binding arbitration via AAA in Amarillo, Texas (or remote). Class action waiver. Claims under $1,000: G10be pays arbitration fees. Governing law: State of Texas.

15. Changes

We may update these terms with 30 days notice for material changes. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance.
