Is it me or does anyone else believe that computers have made our lives harder, not easier. Trying to enter the Baby Gators (I really don't like that name but...) is an effort in redundancy. You get asked at least twice to enter your name, address, etc. Sign here... again. Even with auto fill turned on, you still have to go through several steps. Then you get sent an email you have to confirm. "Click here to confirm." Could they make this any harder? What was really so hard about me showing up at the gate, handing someone cash (Oh, can't touch that), get a paper tech card, fill it out, hand to a Tech man (oh, might transfer the virus)... Come on people. Common sense.

And let's not forget the extra $2.50 they charge as a fee. Yes, it's only 2.50, but that's not the point.

Like most people I also think it is a pain. But one up side to some of these I can use a credit card instead of making sure I have cash on hand. I think the hardest part of electronic entry is when you’re on the road from one Race to another trying to get everything situated

John what's really bad is you know this is the norm from here on out. Even after the virus is forgotten about they will never go back to doing it the old way so hopefully they will find a way to improve it. Sadly though knowing NHRA they will figure out how to make it more difficult!

I actually prefer the way it I now. Filling out the tech card ahead of time is better and faster. I also like paying online and not having to carry as much cash with me when I travel. We have been doing it this way for the National events for many years. I see no downside.

I agree that the process could be much simpler. There is no need for all the repetition.
