Whenever you find yourself storing an array you are almost certainly doing it wrong. I suggest Student has_many race_timings RaceTiming belongs_to Student belongs_to Race Race has_many race_timings Each race_timing record contains student_id, race_id and timing data You can also say Student has_many races through race_timing and Race has_many students through race_timing if those would be useful If you have a race in @race for example, the timings for the race are @race.race_timings and the students are @race.students, and for any given timing you can say race_timing.race or race_timing.student. There is no reason that you cannot create multiple timings records in one submit, which I suggest would be to the race controller, as you are submitting timings for the race.
