Actually, this is what some of us ended up doing. I had all 120 pieces of
my track labelled with laser printed small labels stuck into the cavity of
the track itself. Worked pretty decently, except I suspect I forgot to
label a 8 track bundle, hence the missing stack of track :)

You know, it's something I think we need to do overall-it's good for us to
discover solutions to our own problems that may be unique (or very common).
Maybe we'll come to the same conclusion, maybe we won't. Somethings we'll
borrow outright (PNLTC tables for example) but other things we'll venture in
relatively unknown into (DCC). But it's the fun of doing it, as you
mention, and figuring it out. We're bringing in a lot of experience with
running events overall, and picking up things along the way.
I'll mention the example of the fact we've done six Technic events since mid
1999 and while a group in Austria nearly copied exactly what we did, down to
event rules and specs, they still had lots of things to discover themselves
and come up with solutions for. (We built a custom playfield of 1/2" ply
that is 8x8' and lug it around in a pickup truck-they just set up a
collapsing border and plunk it down on the floor :)
