You gotta run some non-SCCA events occasionally Pat!
It's not perfect, but the BMWCCA:
http://www.ggc-bmw-cca.org/
Let's you register your car and work assignment. Thus
the e-people never need stand in the reg-line.
So the only thing left is to do the waiver. Other
clubs (NASA?) do waiver-at-the-gate. This makes
sense, as there is nothing stopping me wandering the
course without a waiver signature at SFRSCCA events
right now - at the very least there is a liability no
mans land between the entry to the event and the
reg-desk. E-Waivers would be cool, but you're right,
without an arm band we don't really know who signed.
Worst case an e-person goes and physically signs the
waiver at the desk.
