CORSA 2012: Thursday AM Update

[Brian]

Concours yesterday.  My interest was in how posting of scores went.  Was shocked to learn this is only second year that a computer data base was used.  prior years --pencils and hand held calculator!!   Except Parsippany 84, of course.  Posting crew was Iowa convnetion posters who volunteered to do this year.  (Most volunteered to do it next year.)  Most not computer geeks so last year was learning experience.  Harry jensen's 'tweaks' and the posters experience made it a breeze.  Postin finished at 2;47 PM!!!
There goes the excuse that we can't have a concours on Saturday becasue we wouldn't be able to get the scoring done.  Still some 'my car will get dirty' objections.  I'm being polite abd trying to assure them that all day Thursday is available to scrub your ball joint with a tooh brush.  A very few might not come but the desnity of cars in NE will make up for it.
Spent about two hours becoming familar with harry jensen registration and event data base.  Works very well.  My thoughts rught now we shouldn't re-invnet the wheel.  Big issue is his coordiantion with host chapter on site.  I think that Al  Lacki working as liason between him and Mike Paroz will be a big help.  I'll explain in detail when I get home.
Today, I intend to discuss ways to allow non-CORSA members to attend thru some form on temp membership.  Bob marlow proposed a detailed plan to CORSA BOD a month or so ago but it was ignored with comments like 'the convention isn't for outsiders'!!  No way to get new members.
