Hell, we actually might be able to get away with using AXWare w/o ever entering names, all we really need are the class/number pairs and the times. Though, the announcer wouldn't get jack to talk about, since we both know how bad AXWare is about reporting things like run count if you haven't pre-entered a driver into the roster.

I understood that. All I was saying is that things were simpler last year, and though it sucked, we could get event results out of AXWare after only a small amount of head banging and some minor manipulation of the Street tire class. This year the new ST rules are far beyond anything AXWare can remotely handle.
The first events are always the worst becasue of all the changes. You guys were brave to not use last year's driver data at all. I'd be happy to do some cleanup and correlation of driver info back into AXWare if you want. And we have to enter the new info somewhere, so it may as well be in AXWare at the event.
All we need is the last raw event file to start the next one, so as long as we can get names and cars straightened out once, we should be fairly well off moving forward.
The problem we ran into last year was we kept using the same base membership file rather than using the last event, or updating the base file, so we had to make the same changes event after event.
