Personally I like the pucker factor practicing skid control in T2, kinda makes it more interesting knowing there is a culvert at the bottom of the embankment.

Did anyone happen to look at the roster lately? 230 people signed up 15 of whom are wait listed. Finding a place to park is going to get real interesting. First session trains will probably be fun also .

Part of that is a large number of instructors. Run groups are all maxed out just like they always are, so it probably won't be all that different than usual. Yet another testament to how good the LSR events are imho.

Apparently it's the urinal or Joe the Plumber..

Greg, you can have mine if you like. A little white-out here, an oil smudge there, and you're good to go!

As long as those aren't brown smudges on there from your instructors...

I am now on the wait list.
I paid well before many that are on the list. not counting the rollovers.
My only thought is that I was asked to update my PCA membership number on the Club membership board. (Via E-mail)
I Don't know why it wasn't there. I needed it to sign up the last DE.
I went and filled it back in.
Then, I get ANOTHER E-mail stating that PCA members get a 7 day preference. (As if I'm not one?!)
and that I need to fill in my membership number. - I already did this.
What is going on?
If someone out there is listening. this is wrong and I should have a very solid spot on the grid!

I had such a great time last time. I signed up extremely quick and made sure my schedule was clear.
I was going to to a motorsports event, but I changed that around to go to the next PCA event.
Pretty sure I did everything right!?

The event was half full before registration opened due to the cancellation in Sept. To get in most run groups, you needed to register the first day registration opened. I'd suggest you contact the registrar through clubregistration.net if you have a beef, rather than do it on an open forum.

agreed
I respond to every email ... But not to negative posts

yep. I'm throwing a fit. Owning up to this one.
Sincere apologies to everyone.
Haven't been able to race in years. I'm overly giddy about it. When I saw that I might not be able to for reasons I didn't understand, my temper got the best of me. For whatever reasons, I did it wrong.

I did enjoy everyone's company last time, Hope to see u guys in the future.
Sincerely,
Bruce.

Your concern over the registration process is a legitimate issue. As I understand it, there are people who have not paid but are on the list, while some who have paid are on a waiting list. Is it first paid, first on the list?

mglobe

Good grief people. Do you have any idea of how much work it is to run registration for one of these events? Do you think everything works perfectly every time? If so, I'd like to know what planet you're living on, cause it's not the same one I'm from.

Mr Ohio, how is it that you have inside information on registration for a Texas event? Are you sure of your facts?

mglobe

Sorry things have not worked out for you Bruce.

I understand your frustration, as we don't have that many events, and you always hate to miss one. Everyone pops off sometimes (see my response to Mr OH above).

Real men admit it and apologize when they make a mistake.

Wow, chill out, dude. I was just trying to support a fellow Rennlister who was trying to figure out why he wasn't on the list. Seemed he got slammed for doing nothing more than asking a question.

And, to answer your question, on my planet we don't think that everything works perfectly everytime. We just think we have the right to make inquiries when when it doesn't.

I greatly appreciate the registrar and everyone else who volunteers time and effort for these events. I'll be at the TWS DE and I appreciate the opportunity to participate.

Enough of this. I don't want to spoil your thread, so please go back to having fun and I'll go back to Planet Ohio.

Well I'll offer an apology as well. Richard (the registrar) is a friend of mine, who works VERY hard to help make our events happen. He gets an amazing amount of grief from people who don't get into the events, or don't get a garage, etc, etc,.... You would be stunned if you were doing the job at the flak that comes in.

I run a DE mentor program for our chapter, have helped a little bit with registration, and on occaision look over the situation on particular individual's status. I can tell you that 99.9% of the time they don't get in simply because they are too late. Mistakes happen, but VERY rarely.

Sorry for the flame, I just think complaints need to be taken directy to the registrar rather than posted on the interweb.
