Our local Audi Club in response to this now requires that you go to the drivers meeting to get your wristband to get on track, whereas before they were given out at registration. Also you must go to the first download session after your run group to get a ticket to get on track for the rest of the day.

Our local PCA group (AZ) started doing downloads after the first session (IIRC) this year. You still get your wrist band at registration though. Now for NASA locally here, you attend your group driver's meeting first, and your group leader gives out the wrist bands. You also have to attend a download after every session. I personally think this is how it should be done. I do not go to Pro-Autosports or Speed Ventures events anymore because it is too dangerous, and there are people and cars on the track that should not be there. It has become NO fun anymore with those groups. Now, Speed Ventures does do the downloads after sessions 1 and 2, but to me it seems more like smoke and mirrors. No real consequences for those that are dangerous. You have to share the track with 14 and 16 year olds!

Our club has started handing out tech stickers for attending the driver's mtg.

NASA has a good system for handing out a chip after a mtg to get on the track for the next session. However, NASA lets some sketchy cars onto the track - at least in the few events they've hosted that I've attended.

2 groups in particular that I drive with hand out playing cards at meetings/classes. No card at track entry no driving.

The only reason to go out with NASA is if you want to get your competition license. That's why there are so many sketchy people out there - too many racer wannabes. I go out with a few groups here where I feel safe as I know a lot of the guys on track or have been out with them before. NASA isn't for me.
