The Tracer is a discontinued midrange certified in October 1990 (PDGA cert 90-05), one of the big-diameter mids of Discraft's early-90s catalog: 22.3 centimeters across with weights to 185.1 grams per its PDGA record.

Its era favored broad, heavy mids, and the Tracer shared shelf space with the Shadow, certified two months later, and the Marauder that followed in 1992. The class faded as golf discs settled toward modern sizing, and the Tracer was retired long ago. It carries no published flight numbers here.
