Hyperfest 2019 - VIRginia International Raceway May 17-29
#73
The car has no interior/pocket/place for a phone and I fear the phablet will break if in my pocket, and I'd rather not trust a $1200 device to duct tape on the dash for a ~2hr drive on PIC R3s. Car is a hatchback(no trunk), and plan was to stow the phone in my bin I am bringing, and since the car is fully caged I doubt ill be able to reach into my bin from my racing seat that I squeeze into. I do not, nor will I ever, own a printer as that's a waste of trees/money after the year 2000, due to advances in technology. An alphabetical list of 400 drivers is not that bad, our AX group has 120-140 at many events and it takes very little time and there isnt much of a gate backup with 2 people checking off the list. You're not checking "thousands" because of the boolean "are you registered to drive at this event or spectating".

The schedule link was NOT in the email (nor were PDFs attached), i had to link off the email to a page, then link off that page to another page, which had a link to the PDF (that wasnt very easily seen as my eyes went straight to HPDE information, and it was further down the page). This is a highly inefficient process and why I couldnt find it the first 5 times I went through the links. Redundancy of the PDF schedule links would have helped greatly here, then I wouldnt have been confused. So far the instructions do not seem new comer friendly, hopefully some of my feedback can be taken into consideration, or possibly dont allow first timers of VIR at Hyperfest because they have too many questions?

On the topics of printers, is there a website where I can do the tech form ahead of time? Also, will there be some printed out and available to fill out at the event, or am I going to have to make a trip to staples/office depot to waste a tree?

I'm gonna have a lot more questions, bring the hate Smile I'm a seasoned veteran. I never said it sucked fwiw. I said it's bullshit in this day and age, which it is Wink. But seems to be fairly par for the course (which I'd love to try and change)
