What is Racer ?
Racer is an acronym for Remote Access to Court Electronic Records. Racer is similar to Web PACER and also provides public Internet access to federal court records. Racer is a product of Court Watch, LLC, and billed through the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. Courts generally charge $.08 per page with a 30 page pricing cap, or $2.40, for docket sheets, documents, and reports. There are only a small handful of courts left that use Racer, as most have converted to the government’s CM/ECF system.
RACER is a parametric cost estimating system, which requires users to enter a minimal amount of information to generate estimates. The estimates reflect the engineering design of the process/treatment in question, rather than relying on historical cost data alone. The required parameters that users need to supply are project specific. The secondary parameters are determined by the model, and can be overridden by the estimator. The predefined engineering relationships link the primary parameters with detailed engineering quantities. Finally, the quantities are priced using the cost databases. Assembly default values (quantity, unit costs, safety level) can also be changed by users. Cost data for RACER is derived primarily from the Government Cost Book. The Remedial Action Cost Engineering and Requirements (RACER) system is the primary tool for preparing programming cost estimates for environmental remediation. The latest version of RACER is Version 10.
