Inspections moving faster: Thanks to a collaborative effort with Microsoft, NASCAR's technical inspection process has been setting its own track records as the 2014 racing season hustles toward its conclusion. The development of a mobile inspection application has helped streamline the labor-intensive process of on-site technical inspection, trimming nearly in half the time spent examining cars and recording pertinent data. The paperless procedure, which debuted in September at Chicago, consists of NASCAR officials inputting relevant data into Windows-compatible devices as the cars move through the various stages of inspection. "We're moving faster and our jobs are much easier than they were before," Richard Buck, managing director for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series said. "The inspection app was designed to make the overall process more efficient and it has." Inspectors use the devices for eight different disciplines, from safety and templates to engine inspection, throughout the course of a race weekend.(see full article at NASCAR.com)(10-29-2014)
