<Grin> We can't really reduce the check in function to the extent this building suggests (found in the infield at Atlanta Motor Speedway). We can speed things up considerably and make the whole thing more enjoyable for everyone.

Since the information requested by the various specialties (Tech, Timing & Scoring, Medical, etc) is both collected and distributed by the data management system, many of the chores previously required by manual systems are now redundant. E.g. since Chiefs can access records online, it is no longer necessary at track for Registration to make transponder changes or hand out individualized Tech cards. Similarly, Medical personnel can pull their emergency records from the online servers. Registrars can concenrate more of their attention on their own specialty (credentials, waivers, collections, etc). The sufficient information for Registrars turns out to be: driver & entrant names and member numbers, class, car number, total fee owed, and collections.

Even crew lists are unnecessary. Keeping up with crew names is important only to the extent that the number of crew passes is restricted (usually by track request) and ensuring that the crew sign insurance waivers. Both of those needs can be handled through the use of "crew tickets" which become the responsibility of the drivers as described later in this article. The significant implication for registrars is individual folders are no longer required! The complete set of registration records (including a full set of completed registration forms) can be contained in a few folders. The picture to the right is the records from the Labor Day 2004 double SARRC / ProIT at Atlanta Motor Speedway .
