With the exception of no tech, Atlanta was completely normal in all aspects and was run very well

It was old even back then and I never had a copy to mess around with. So it may have taken inspiration from CPM but it was definitely using DOS commands and procedures though all the different coders may have added or subtracted things.

It was before MS locked everything down tight and the licenses other companies had ran out. There were various versions that added or dropped things. I do remember the old hands saying it was DOS, but just another take on the source code.

Not trying to stir the pot but I didn't see any spot checks like I normally see at a National event so I was just curious if someone else did or got checked themselves.

Didn’t see any of that either. But I did see plenty of activity at the tech trailer. Looked like they did tech some cars that may have had problems with the online tech card. Also chassis certs. Personally I liked the online tech card and pre entry. Now I just have to see how long it takes to get paid for my winnings. Lost 4th round so I have a small check coming. I filled out the online W9 form and e mailed it first thing Monday morning. That is the only negative

Agreed Mike I had no problem with the online tech either I was curious if they did spot checks though. All things considered I don't see how they could have with the amount of staff they were allowed to have unless they were going to work those few to death.

Entering Epping
my question is how long does it take to get the email saying they accepted your tech card? is this something that can take a day or two or is it supposed to be instant like the receipt email for your entry?

[voltdr]

Here in D4, the confirmation emails for the tech card and waivers came immediately. If you didn't get it then I'd contact your DD to verify.

I have confirmed information that spot checks were done in TD and TS as was already mentioned. That's good that it will keep people honest. I think everything ran real smooth even though they were a little short staffed and it was hotter than, well you know.
To answer the question you had Keith, the people who entered early did have to wait for a few days but it was because they were trying to iron out a few issues. I entered on Monday I believe and got my email the next day. Once they got the system going it was very good. Kudos once again to the D2 staff!
