Registration is rarely a bottle neck at our events. It
runs pretty smoothly. There is nothing wrong with the
way things are done now. Don asked the question of
whether members would like to online pre-register.
Mine was a suggestion as to how we might accomplish
that.

And making the "DRIVER'S" life easier is a bad thing?
:)
I suggested this as a first step. If a majority of us
started online registering we would then have an
electronic list that could be dumped into a
timing/scoring system for all the instant results
people seem to want.

You are correct. I debated whether to even to suggest
it. I'm sure there is a way to address this issue, if
the members want it.
