Yeah, I was wondering if somebody was going to point that out. I could
certainly understand the card sorter having all sorts of trouble with a
8.5x11 page folded in half, compared to the normal card stock.

Well, it ain't rocket science now either actually. I assume the cards are
checked for proper signatures on the reg and tech sides when the times are
complied post-event? Is that not enough?
> As for the pen issue - let me see...
*I* was kidding about the pens, I always bring several, primarily because it
seems some of my ClubZ cohorts-in-crime were somehow able to buy a $35K
sports car but can't afford their own darn pen ;).

Doesn't sound like a pretty picture at all, no.

Not at all, none taken, I'm just trying to figure out how best to stream
line things. The suggestions of pre-printed stickers for all info but class
and car number makes a lot of sense.
Now, what about Bill's suggestion that got drowned out in the fray? A
"Don't mail me the results, online access is good enough for me, unless I
come in first in which case I want my little checkered flag thingy" check
box? Would that save Pat enough time to be worth it?
