At the next station, they wanded the bar code and took payment, and the 3rd station was for worker signup. If we go back to an SFR event this year, we get to skip the first workstation, and go to the 2nd workstation, scan our barcode (no more writing down information on any paper; no illegible entries on registration signup sheets); pay, then sign up to work. It appears to be a nicely streamlined process.
During the run group, there is a 'pre-starter' who scans the barcode on the car, which transmits the car and driver information to the timing system on their bus. No more mis-typing.
The event was at Oakland Colliseum today, where the surface is nice, smooth asphalt; and while there are light poles on the lot, the course designers did a great job of designing around them. I never noticed them while running. (Unlike the Squaw event last year, where I did notice the fixtures and worker stations while I was running.)
