Chris revised his numbers. They had the 120 slots filled in the first 30-odd SECONDS!

And your registration time stamp is based on when you click "Register".

This. Timestamps mean very little when you consider all of the differentiation that needs to happen with respect to experience, region, et cetera (as it should be, IMO). FWIW, I've paid, and if I get in, that will be amazing -- but if not, we're lucky here in TX that there are so many great events within a relatively short drive.

120 in 30 seconds. That's just amazing.

When you hit "Register" is your time stamp.

Thanks for clarification. I thought I was prepared to be fast but all the "crap" that needed to answered to get to final registration took me almost a minute. At the end, T-shirt size was the option to pick to progress. The ones that get not in should get the t-shirt ...

Could the T shirt have been a mental agility Pre test to make sure you can adapt to the hundreds of new rules that will be instituted and then canceled daily by COTA?

Chris confirmed 120 registrations in the first 30 seconds. I'm amazed his system can hold up to that traffic, congrats to him, PCA, and the lucky ones that got in. I have driven this track on 4 occasions and its amazing grippy and wide. For those who have not been there I have some notes that were written by someone smarter than me, I did them up and post here.

"We will begin confirmation within 10 days of registration."

A site that can handle 120 registrations in 30 seconds doesn't need 10 days to figure out who is in and who is out. Timestamp is just your entry into an off-line process ;-). I heard that there are allocations on a per region basis, so you might have been the 120th person to register, and still not make the cut if the other 119 before you were all from your region.

^ I fear a bit of politics might be at play. Too bad, everyone should have an equal chance.

Didn't mean to imply that the off-line process was anything but manual, (which doesn't necessarily imply political). I'll bet the method for allocating the spots was figured out ahead of time, and agreed to by each of the sponsoring regions.
