As the SCCA World has become more and more technologically driven (On Line Registration, On Line FasTrack, On Line Divisional Points etc.) It never ceases to amaze me that the SCCA process does not 'MINE' all the data that is generated during a race event so that 'pointed' communications can take place with each of the participants in each class, rather than the request for comments through FasTrack.
Of course it has only been in the last 3/4 years that the Regions have stopped Snail Mailing Entry Forms, so change comes slowly. Maybe it is time for SCCA National to hire a Information Technology professional in order to make the wealth of data that is generated from Club Racing, and Solo for that matter, work for the benefit of the club rather than get put in that Great Bit Bucket in the Sky.

They just dont have the time to keep track of stuff like that thats what the region officers are for.
