OK this sign up is proving challenging for some Step one Go to Retro Rides Events page retroridesevents.com/ Or Click This You know you've got to the right place cos it looks like this Step One - Sign Up (if you've never used it before) Once you've signed up you should get an email to the email address you used asking you to verify your email address - this is quite important because if you don't then it's quite possible you've signed up with a mistake in your email address - this means I can't tell you you have a space at the event - Also means that next time you log in you may use the right email address and then wonder why you can't log in!!! If you have already created a Log in ID (Email) and password then select log in You'll end on a landing screen like this I know you only want to enter yourself and your car for the event but it's much easier for us all if you do the following in order First thing update your profile details click on it Fill in the details (We don't share this information with anyone else) Now we have that info out of the way it's time to add in your cars (if you have more than one just repeat the process several times) Add Pictures Now you should have Add Pictures And submit Now you have you a complete profile and at least one car in the system Click on the Retro Rides Gathering 2019 in bottom left And you'll get here - click on the apply for track time then select a car (if you have more than one) - select morning or afternoon using the drop down Tick the box only if you are trailering to the event (warning we have limited space for trailers and they are a pain) Then tell us how you heard about the track time And lastly hit submit When you get back to the screen it shows your entry and status

As many runs as we can get you in the morning or afternoon - we should get you a minimum of 3 runs in the morning (can't guarantee it because if we have someone go agricultural on the hill the clean up time will hurt us)
However last year we lost 50 mins to clean up and still got 60 cars 3 runs each and that was with guest cars running in front of every batch (the whole day) so without the lost time we would have had at least another run for 30 cars and possibly all 60
It's always more runs in the afternoon for a number of reasons
Main one is - Everyone running in the afternoon has seen how it works in the morning and it runs much smoother
Then add that to
- People do a couple of runs and then think "I have to drive this home"
- Campers want to pack up ready to leave
- Guest cars run less as they've kinda OD'd in the morning and not paced themselves
- The track is normally a little damp and greasy in the morning but dries out during the day - provided the weather stays good it's a quicker run in the afternoon
All those elements drive a little reduction in the group sizes and as a result they spin round faster
So if I was booking a slot it would be afternoon every time if I wanted more runs
The strange thing is Mornings are the favoured slots for people booking up for the sessions........

Hell no - we have cars in the paddock all day - the thought of Benny Hill theme tune playing all day leaves me with chills

Sorry to be a pain but is the session status change from 'pending' to 'approved' a quick process or are we waiting for a certain date? I don't want to miss out 😂

Sorry to be a pain but is the session status change from 'pending' to 'approved' a quick process or are we waiting for a certain date? I don't want to miss out 😂 Ahhh Very Good Question.....What you see is "Pending" What I see is a lot of different "Status" "Pending" (where I haven't made up my mind or they are very recent entries) "Rejected" (Where I have a duplicate entry, the car is too new even for a reserve slot or it's a bloody motorbike) "Approved" (where I definitely want that car) The entries close 26th July On 27th July your "status" will change to what it is and you get an email with payment instructions as well as what inputs are next required on your profile (this is basically the disclaimer info we need for Shelsley so we can pre-fill your forms and have them ready for you on the day just requiring signature and a date) I asked HoTWire for the status to be shown as pending as soon as I saw this was the case (I do a few checks and balances to make sure this system works as I expect). I did this so that the following didn't happen 1. People emailing me saying "I see I'm approved how do I pay or what happens next" 2. People emailing me saying "why am I still pending my mate bill is approved and my car is nicer than his" 3. People emailing me saying I've been rejected when they haven't been I've just deleted a duplicate entry All of the above suck huge amounts of time that I do not have right now as my real job is quite frankly "nuts"

Well I found the system easy to use with this thread to guide me, so thanks for pointing me to it, BUT it would be great if the INITIAL button gave the choice of LOGIN or SIGN UP, as that's what beat me.... as I couldn't LOGIN as I wasn't SIGNed UP! Some of feeble mortals take things very literally! Anyway I hope I have not screwed up the system, as I did not find the warning about Do NOT create a new Club without Authorisation" which I'm not sure I have yet.....but every thing still seems to be working here.... I've also applied for Tracktime for Lily...... please treat us kindly she may be young (in Retro terms) but our combined ages are over 90......

If his people don't stick to the agreement made after 23 hours of negotiation I'm deleting your entry 23 hrs to decide that your people don't get a "attendance fee" if we don't "charge" for the extra security - Jesus!!!
