You can't miss the tech shed. It's at the far end of the paddock between timing and scoring and the concession area.

So, this it he only bit of the schedule I can find, shouldnt I also have the times I'll be on track and in the classroom as well? why isnt this posted anywhere? Will it be provided at the tech shed? Seems like this should be solidified by now

it appears to be here, worst website design ive seen in years http://nasaracing.net/wp-content/uploads/hf19-sched-sat-v2.pdf

edit: it appears you have to jump through their hoops, not really sure why they couldnt just provide a list of people registered to skip this unnecessary step. No wonder there is back ups at the gate, this is ridiculous in this day and age of technology.

You sure have a lot to complain about

What kind of schedule are you looking for? Most aren't posted 2 weeks in advance. 

Here's a map if you have any confusion on where to go. Your first classroom session will be right around 9, so have your car ready to rock and roll BEFORE then because your session may be less than 15 minutes after classroom ends.

If you're not complaining about the things that suck, it'll never get better , it's also my professional job to complain about things on the web. Printing out the XLS sheet for the gate worker would negate the need to hope and pray my cell phone has enough service to pull up the bar code at the gate. Which will be slow as ill have to unhook from the 6pt harnesses and get out of the car to get my cell phone (adding to more gate delays)

Last HPDE at NCCAR I did required no BS and there was only 1 building on premises (directly beside parking/tech) so it was a lot easier to figure out. Thanks for the map! That should help a lot. The map isnt labeled very well though, is the "tech shed" also the "classroom"? or is that the building between patriot course and The Crater?

I work in web technologies (QAE) so if they ever need some help getting their site/process better, someone give them my email, DierwulfBL@gmail.com . A single full stack/FE dev and I could have it looking great in a month at 10hr/wk with ease

There are no stupid questions! I just generally don't appreciate the "this isn't what I expected so it sucks!" attitude from people. Always happy to provide the receipts and encourage attendees to read their emails.

do you have a passenger seat in the car? I'd put my phone in a bag in the seat.

I had no trouble finding the form. I dont want to print it out, I want to submit it to them electronically, is this a thing? If i have to print it, i can likely get staples/OD to print them both for me at some point. Id rather not do that at all though if they have them printed out there already.

Yea, or just ask questions and clarify all the things with the folks that have experience with it. I wouldnt call it complaining, youre just reading my posts wrong maybe. Some people just cant take constructive criticism I guess.

I understand constructive criticism and welcome it (I'm also not in a decision-making role with NASA, but can absolutely pass along suggestions). 

Yes, accessing some information requires a lot of clicks. And some things require a printer. Just kinda how it is for now. There is a lot of information to be distributed for every one of our events and most people ignore the emails anyway. The reason we don't link directly to schedules from the email is because the schedule does occasionally change between the email send and the event. I will certainly pass along the feedback that direct links would be helpful, perhaps if we can get the schedule finalized earlier it would help with that effort.

I swear I'm not an asshole in person, btw. 

Usually.
