Both Bloomington and LPS started late on opening night due to large car counts and the need for participants to fill out paperwork for tax purposes (and this occurs just about every year at all race tracks). I am wondering, that in this age of electronic media, would it be possible for this paperwork to be done in advance online?

We started promptly at 6 and the sprint feature was done at 920.

As far as this, is concerned, Why not do it at the pay window afterwards, Nobody gets paid until it's done anyway.

Some of the paperwork is driver info needed by the announcer, so that would be the primary reason for doing it before the event.

I went to Eldora for the 360 sprints last night. They had to test all the transponders. Started 36 minutes late and I was in the truck at 6:39 heading home. I guess as a fan we should come to expect a delay in the program this time of the year.🏁

Gas City put out a link to get all the paper work online so that way it speeds up everything.

Actually, Most race tracks will not allow you to draw a pill until tax paper work and announcer info card is completed. Gas City shared theirs on social media Friday so we printed it and had it done before we arrived. 👍🏻

I get that Landon, Just saying that if it's going to take so long, they ought to have enough on at least opening night to take care of the rush.

Great run BTW Sat! Have a good season!
