GCR choices

[Ed Funk]

We just got letters today asking us to pick a hard copy GCR, a CD version or a downloadable version. Is tech going to be happy with anything other than the traditional book?

Dick? Greg?

Won't matter, we'll be using our own copies anyway...electronic (CD/PDF) is fine.

So, if you get the down-loadable version, do you get free monthly updates too? :026:

I'll take the hard copy every time. The .pdf version is available at all times for download on the SCCA's website - download it to your computer and eliminate the need for a CD version of it.

I like the paper book and asked for one but next year for the first time in 2010 the electronic version is the official rule book. SCCA members are now 90% online. National expects some savings from printing fewer books. I would also think that the printed version might not be out quite as fast as previous years.
It will certainly take some getting used to. Not so sure about having to look something up on a cold rainy day while teching a car.

There will be printed copies available for those who need them (tech, stewards, etc.) into the future. The primary advantages to the downloadable version is that it costs nothing other than staff time to produce and it will be updated on a monthly basis (all the Fastrack rules changes and tech bulletin items will get folded in each month) so anyone can have a "fresh" version.
