looks like it's the hosting account that is expired, not the domain:

they should just have one big link that forwards to us .. i hear we draw bigger crowds at our weekly socials anyway so why not leverage what works instead of trying to compete ..

Like the money you pay will cover a professional webmaster. Dream on.

Almost all PCA chapters and other clubs like BMW and Audi are volunteer run.

Will you be personally organizing DEs? Will you do it better than UCR?

Acutally, PCA DE's are one of the reasons why we have been organising the Rennlist days at Mosport every year for the last 4 years

So you think there is enough money for a professional webmaster? I don't know of any car club that pays a webmaster. Some have great volunteers that make very good sites but that's mostly luck.

How newbie friendly are your trackdays?

I go to plenty of trackdays locally with Rennsport Region Past & Present Board Members but they are not DEs. Many of those events are not even open to new drivers. Doesn't stop them from going to Rennsport DEs.

A DE is not a trackday. I haven't been to a UCR DE so I can't judge their quality but it's a totally different effort compared to doing a single weekday trackday. Is there a website listing Rennlist trackdays?
