Did you forget to renew your license?

I would email the registrar.

Oh yes, already emailed registrar (Dennis) and Susan Shire.
License renewed early December.

They simply stated "you are wait-listed for the Saturday Sprint and the Sunday Enduro no changes will be made until Jan 04". Unfortunately, I need to confirm my work schedule NOW, argh.

This probably has more to do with Club Registration than the region. Maybe their software is not retaining and passing on registrants in the order they are received.

Racers on the Waiting List and 2 full DE groups. WTF? And I thought the 48 Hours at Sebring was a Club Race. Little do I know.

Can we get a few race groups at the next DE at Sebring? There are three of them from now to May.

Run groups are posted. Looks like the cups are on their own, by and large (except for GT1,2 and 3, but most of them can hang with GTC3, and then some). The Porsche Gods are smiling.

Why not just have a separate race series for Cups?

That's an awesome idea!

Then the Cups could have their own event at COTA and make room for DE at the regular club race. Everyone will be happy!

How the heck can I be wait-listed??

Is anyone else in this situation?
I had the same thing happen, registered and paid before several other racers right here in my camp. They were in and I was wait listed, never got clarity and had to cxl the last day. Turns out they extended the cxl date afterwards but I had already cxld so lost my place in the que.
No biggie, figure they saved me 10-15k...
Btw club Races are one of the best economic indicators I've seen. Should be a great year!

I dunno. Some GT guys, despite the disparities discussed in another thread, actually enjoy mixing it up with some Cups.

They jus say that to not hurt any feelings. Kinda like "no that cup car doesn't make you look fat".
