ONLINE REGISTRATION OPENS!

[Kris]

You will be able to register online today at noon. If you are having difficulty logging in or registering please let me know. Gridding is done either by points or by the time of entry; if you do not let me know you were unable to register or having difficulties until race weekend it will be considered a late entry. I go by when you notify me to determine your time of entry.

Please update your profile with your current sponsors for this year. You are responsible for ensuring the correct sponsors are listed, if they are not listed, you risk the chance of not getting paid!

I am in the process of moving therefore might not get back to you RIGHT away, so DO NOT PANIC. I will work with you based on the time you try to get in touch with me not WHEN you do. If you want to assist with the move, advancement in grids is possible :wink:.

Good luck!!

Thanks,

Upon signing up for three races on Sunday and paying, It seems that the fees have risen a lot from last year. I thought it was voted on and agreed to be $200 for practice and three races. I know ROR's a bit more but $50 more? Not bitching but $260 for three races? Kris is this correct?

Kris,

How does it work if you select Autopay. At the end of registration it said I was signed up for Autopay but also gave me the option for one time pay. Do I just logout at this point? It didn't give me my total that would be charged for Autopay unless I choose the one time pay.

Please let me know if I have completed this correctly. Also how does the Autopay affect griding. Is it when I sign up for the classes or when my card is charged?

I'm not excited to go race.

Thanks,

I'm getting the same error.

You are probably attempting to use your temporary AMA number?

If so, that is the problem. Kristina uses a different temporary number for your AMA number, so contact here to first verify your information is correct in the DB and what AMA number to use in the system.

You can update it once you have logged in the first time under the "Profile" area of the pre-reg application.

If you are signed up for AutoPay and have a card on file, you don't have to actually pay. You can just log out and your card will be charged on the Wednesday before, and it will email you a receipt for your racing.

The AutoPay does not effect gridding - you are gridded from the time you enter, not pay. So theoretically you can enter a long time before the event, but as long as you actually pay before the Wednesday evening cut off you are given your original time of entry.

If you do not pay before the event, you will be gridded at the back no matter what. We have been using this system for close to 5 years now, and while there are still occasional problems, it is very rare and forgetting to pay for your racing before the cut off doesn't cut it as an excuse for your original grid position. Even MRA Board members have been gridded at the back due to being late for paying their entry fees.

I hope this helps answer your questions.

[1ofTheBoys]

Yes it does thank you. Is there a way that the total for the race be shown on the page that says you are signed up for autopay and log out? The only way I knew my total was by clicking one time pay.
Thanks,

Just passing this along from what Kris just told me.

If you choose autopay, and register for all the 10 races, the wednesday before race #1, it will charge for all ten races and not just race #1. So if you do it this way and don't have a credit limit that will allow that much money, you credit card will be declined, which means you haven't paid, and probably pulled from the grid.....


Dingle

[T Baggins]

Not sure that's accurate Bernsie. I think it pulls the Wednesday before "each" race - at some random time. It doesn't charge your card for the whole season...

[DingleBerns]

You are correct! You are placed according to when you register, HOWEVER if you don't pay prior to online registration being taken offline it will consider you as not paid therefore you will be taken off the grids. Once you pay you will be placed on the grid as late entry. Does that make sense??

The ONLY problem I have seen with the autopay thing was when someone entered into all their races for the year and was doing autopay. They then maxed our their credit card therefore the payment didn't go through.

:?

This is absolutely incorrect.

You pay per-weekend. If you sign up for AutoPay, it will only charge the "next" weekend, not ALL weekends.

If you have a credit card on file, but no racing to pay for either because you are all paid up or have not registered for the "next" race, your card will not be charged.

No matter what, you will only ever be charged 1 weekend at a time, and it will be the Wednesday before each event.

Probably because it was being charged throughout the year but they didn't pay their bill through the year!

[DingleBerns]

Thanks for clarification Dave. I guess I'm too excited to actually read the post correctly.....

[Kris]

If I did autopay, it won't charge till the Tuesday before the race. However I am registered for my classes. Am I all set for the grid, or I won't be placed until that Tuesday which means I move further into the back of the pack...?

Thanks!

Berns - You got me sooooo confused on how you quoted me! :shock: Here is the original messages for clarification.

Sorry for the confusion.
