Does anyone know of or have a drag racing log in any sort of software format?

No, just a place to enter times and other data.

What parameters are you looking to log? I work with some talented programmers and one of them might be able to work something out.

Here is what I use. I log all the run data into the program and save the DRAG.DBF file into a folder with the modlist the vehicle currently had. Then subfolders of that for dates. Within those subfolders I have a Text sheet that has a VERY detailed breakdown of the environmental conditions, technique used and overall diagnosis of the runs if any anomalous things occurred. When you want to see the particular runs that are on the .DBF file you saved just drag it back to the same folder that the program is in and the program will open it.

Interesting. That's very close to what I envisioned. Thanks Robert!
