We used to not see results on the SCR-SCCA Website for a week, now if the chair's in a good mood it's posted before we get home. Schweet.
We went barcode with SETRA to score enduros and hare scrambles in 2003, I don't see how we were ever able to get it done before. The really cool thing: when your helmet got scanned, a display about 30 feet out would tell you your position in class, last lap time and most important of all how far you were behind the next guy in your class. First time I saw that I had no idea that I was only 2.7 seconds behind my nearest competitor. I went berserk trying to catch him. Did it, too.
Holy schiz, i wish we had that...
2.7 seconds? your first run musta been SLOWWww, thats a big gap to pick up

Don't forget the oil leaks and brake checks. Most places will ding you for that. Leaving a stream of oil behind usually means you won't run. Brake check usually is nothing more then get it rolling, hands up, hit the brakes. If it veeres off sharply, you're diqualified.
Quality of a tech inspection varies tremendously.

Considering the average lap was ~ 20 minutes, I didn't think it was too bad.
Particularly since I was obviously the oldest guy in 4 Stroke C by a good 15 years.
