National event registration.
 

Is there an official waiting list to get on for a national event(stock), if the quota is filled.
Or, do you check into the event registration continually hoping for a vacancy?Would the best time to start looking for a vacancy be at the cut off date?

Re: National event registration.
 

No official list, just have to keep checking...most withdrawals occur the Sunday or Monday AM prior to the event cutoff. Given the recent weather related disruptions it just makes sense to check the latest weather forecast(?) before making the call.

No waiting list, you have to check to see if someone pulls out. you also have to have at least the same amount of grade points that was in affect when the quota was filled.

I believe it was changed again for this year.
Back to where you have to have at least the same number of grade points as when it originally filled.

Re: National event registration.
 

Can someone explain this whole grade points thing?

Re: National event registration.
 

You get 1 grade point for each divisional race that you tech into. When a National event opens up for entries, it is first opened for people with 8 or more grade points, each week they drop the required grade points by 1. They want to give the people that support the divisional races first chance to enter. That is why some people aren't able to enter when it first opens, and why sometimes racers can't enter at all, because its a race that may fill up before someone without many grade points is able to enter.

So, National events, are the only ones you have to register for? I assume you can just show up at Divisionals, tech and race? Im new to this whole thing, as well...planning on my first Div 3 race, next April, weather permitting :)

Re: National event registration.
 

The Sports Nationals can be entered at the gate without a grade point.

Re: National event registration.
 

You get a grade points for national opens also

Re: National event registration.
 

Used to be you only got a grade point if it was in your home division.
Have they changed that?

Re: National event registration.
 

Years ago Art!
Hell, at one point they were giving half a point for each of the five bracket races at Moroso!

Re: National event registration.
 

If I read correctly the Monday, of the national event, is the last day anyone can register/enter.Is that right?

Re: National event registration.
 

Correct, 1:00 Pacific time and you can withdraw up until that time as well...and for the SportsNationals events you can enter at the gate...

Here's the schedule link...located at same place you sign in to enter an event after getting completely registered.
