All Tours and ProSolos (except DC Pro) have online reg available now.

DC looks like it'll be on-line in March.

--kC

soooooo they fixed it?????

being able to register is great....however the Dixie Tour is still Borked...:mad:

It was working earlier. Maybe too many people hitting it... or... I was lucky and got in before they broke something else? :lol:

Thanks KC.

I was just able to sign up.

I was just able to sign up.

Me too. I also hacked in to DC......................It's full :)

Me too. I also hacked in to DC......................It's full :)Bull****. :lol:

They've encrypted the links... :lol:

They've encrypted the links... :lol:
And by "encrypt" you mean "replaced with carrier pigeons" right?

And by "encrypt" you mean "replaced with carrier pigeons" right?

Of course not they use 2ROT13 encryption. Nothing but the best for the SCCA.

You guys should know I have a hard time hacking into a box of pop tarts, let alone a high tech site like the scca.com. :)

For those that want to see the entry lists, there's a space after "&evt_key=" in the URL that doesn't belong there.

So, remove the space, or the 'code' for space, %20, whichever way your browser renders it, and it'll work.

DC Pro opens Tuesday 3/3 at 2pm Central.

Awesome - thanks KC!

Would you take a postdated 3rd party countercheck written on a closed account instead? Promise it's good...:devil:

DC Pro opens Tuesday 3/3 at 2pm Central.
In the middle of everyone's workday?

Awesome.

In the middle of everyone's workday?

Awesome.

That's how it "worked" last year.

Ah, right. I got confused, after that whole "2 AM" thing, followed by the "frantically send a fax" thing, followed by "just kidding, online registration works again, SURPRISE!" thing.

Well this should be fun. :huh:

I think registering for DC should be an event in and of itself. Or is it already?

Well this should be fun. :huh:

You mean register for the prevledge of registering?

During the workday is perfect...I have my computer right here in front of me (blocks off time on calendar). :D

In the words of Spongebob, "I'm Ready!"

So....does everyone have their fingers limber and their keyboards ready?


"I'm your huckleberry.....that's just my game."

At 3:01pm, I'm going in. Hopefully it's not full by then.

Careful. I'm not sure the historical architecture can handle more than about 30 http requests / second... You could easily overload it if the dixie registration is anything to show for SCCA registration server architecture.

Ha ha ha. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm at the ready!!! :devil:

Dentist appointment cancelled, I'm ready!

$20 says we crash the site...

Probably so, going to be the same fiasco as last year. :mad:

$20 says we crash the site...

The black helicopter in me thinks this is a play, when it does crash, for IT department funding for better equipment. Thing is, with such a small IT dept, and it not being an IT company... no one in a non-it position of authority can tell the difference that it's a problem with the code, coding, and not necessarily the equipment.

It's something a devious IT person would do. Throttle it back/filter the traffic *just the right amount*. When it crashes? "See I told you so. We need better equipment. Here's my list."

--kC

Dentist appointment cancelled, I'm ready!
I'm already logged in and pressing the F5 button every 5 minutes for kicks! :lol::lol::lol:

-Chike (aiming to be one of the first 50 people registered)

I hate to give this away but at 3:01 I will be faxing.

Then I'll come back here and wait for the s*** storm to start about how the site crashed. And :lol:

It's a pretty good bet both the fax and site will be jammed.

And "It's a good bet the empire knows we're here." <-just cause.

Hmmm...any awards for the first NASIOC member to get in? Other than the right to attend of course. :p

I'm ready...

Logged in, credit card out, ready to roll.

2 minutes by my phone. ;)

It opened 3 minutes early, now that it's 3pm it's taking forever!!!

....and CRASHED

I have three different browsers tring to get to the same dang page, none of them are rendering.


This is tooo f***ing funny!!


Maybe I'll write a "sniper" for this event next year... :devil:

Can't----log----in......

HAHA You too? Yeah, I didn't help crash it.

:whistles:

LOL! This is for the birds....

ARGH...never updated my garage, have to put in the STi. :mad:

Waiting for it to recalculate for a price.

Which is exactly what I had to do after last years debacle-----get up at a** crack a.m. to a site that doesn't work only to fax in at 7:00 a.m. the following morning with no mystery charges. Which would only probably be pats pig anyways.

You gots to have a contingency!!!!!!!!

Your registration for 2009 Washington DC ProSolo is confirmed.
Strangely, the registration page is "still loading," but I got a confirmation email, so all is good.

I still can't seem to log in, all I get is a blank white page and the little wheel spinning away next to the window header???

SUCCESS!!!!

If I don't get in, I'm not helping to organize it! That'll be my leverage.... ok, so I can only hope it's leverage... :p

Damn you, white page of failure taunting me! DAMN YOU!!!

I gave up and faxed, just got the fax confirmation and sent email to Nancy. Just waiting for the reply. Still can't get the page to load on scca.com though.

Well maybe I can be first on the wait list... f#%& #&^^%#er!

General question: Is there really any benefit to faxing? Will they look at a fax time stamp and get you in before the event closes?

Why does this happen every year? Seriously.

Why does this happen every year? Seriously.

heh probably because this is the ONLY event in which this happens so there's no cost benefit to upgrading hardware and internet bandwidth just for one event.

Anyone recommend a decent online fax service? I've got a scanner but no fax mo-sheen...

General question: Is there really any benefit to faxing? Will they look at a fax time stamp and get you in before the event closes?

I forget the exact rule, but they do take a "time stamp" kind of deal into account I believe.

Anyone know if the entry list is live yet? What number are we up to now? I may just have to fax...

Entry list is "available" at http://ams.scca.com/netforum/eweb/dynamicPage.aspx?site=scca&webkey=9923d8a8-4595-4138-986e-5a66d470be49&evt_key=0d3d073b-a514-4dd1-a446-e22a9a54561d
But it is on the same ams server that is not responding or at least responding very slowly to any requests so you can't see anything there.

I faxed mine in just to be on the safe side but I still plan to register online when/if I can just to make sure I am in.

DC looks like it'll be on-line in March.
Yep. You just won't be able to get through until April.

Yep. You just won't be able to get through until April.

Should have done it this way.

Skrew this, I'm driving across town to the office to fax...

Of course, as soon as I walk away, the page will load I'm sure!

Thanks Shawn. I faxed mine in at 3:50pm.

From my fax at 2:00 P.M. CST

Your registration for 2009 Washington DC ProSolo is confirmed.

Notes to the registrar:

If for any reason you need to cancel please contact Nancy Downing at ndowning@scca.com or call 800-770-2055 for cancellation procedures.

My fax went in at 2:24 PM CST so hopefully I'll hear back in 24 minutes. :D

My fax went at 2:41 PM CST so I guess I got a while to wait :-(

my fax went at 4:13 EST, so we'll see.

Currently 52 people registered online.

I just registered online. No waiting for pages to load either. I went to my apt complex's business center and someone had messed up the print queue and of course we don't have admin rights to delete the print job screwing everything up. Just then, the first page loaded and all the others loaded no problem.

Still can't get in. :(


Posted this on SCCA forums (sccabb)

I know this isn't your fault Nancy but I would like to just throw out there that I've written 2 different online registration applications for two SCCA regions. They have all praised them in usability and administrative functionality.

I could zip the code up and email it to someone there at SCCA if it would help to get registration working better.

Or, I could write a new one but you'd have to switch away from ASP as Microsoft has failed miserably in the dynamic web server area. IIS is no longer an acceptable industry standard for an application server.

This is ridiculous. I've been trying to register for over an hour for my very first ProSolo experience and so far, I want no part of it if I can't even get registered for the freaking event!!!
1st post ever, and awaiting ban stick. :unamused:

If that doesn't work, you'll win them over with your charm! :p

This is just ridiculous. I agree, there should be some sort of system set up to alleviate this somehow.

Woot! Just checked my card and it has been charged! Also just checked and got an email with my confirmation. :D

Still can't get in.

I guess I won't be attending my first ProSolo event. can't make it to any of the others, they're either too far or bad dates (or both).

Emailed Joel Lemon asking for an explanation.

for a brief moment, I got in online but it hung and eventually timed out on processing the form. no confirmation yet.

screw it! if I"m not in, you guys can work whatever position you want whenever you want! :lol::banana::devil:

I just saw the entry list! Almost all DC members! :diaf: :diaf:

And you're point is? I'm sure there will be a good number of DC guys in the Finale as well. Hopefully I'll be one of them. :D

I just saw the entry list! Almost all DC members! :diaf: :diaf:

Hate to say it, but DC members are (unfortunately) used to (and prepared for) this type of registration insanity. :rolleyes:

I see a pending charge on my cc, so chalk up another DC member likely in.

I got registered online during that few mins when they reset something server side and everything was running fast. Now everything is running real slow again.

Ditto

I scanned and emailed it after my fax wouldn't go through and Shawn was able to successfully fax it for me just now.

I'm still waiting for the freaking ENTRY LIST to load.

i.e., a read-only operation that should complete almost instantaneously.

OK, entry list loaded.

"Total Entry Count: 92"

:confused:

It's running fast for me again (just checked the entry list). Took 10 seconds to load from the front scca.com page. Currently 138 entries.

Greg, you stole my number. :unamused:


It started to work, now it's hung all over again...


Nobody take ESP 87! :D

I figured at some point we'd have to race for it.............

There is something seriously wrong with ams.scca.com site. Can't get to it to login and get to the entry list for Houston.

It is still called DC Pro registration. The DC Pro registration has had the ams.scca.com site on it's knees all afternoon with no sign of letting up.

I guess no DC Pro Solo for Dave :(

Pretty sure entry is working now and the event is not full yet (196 registered)

Thanks! STU is 14 deep! I'm so excited and it's not for months!

Just noticed that, this is going to be a blast! Still 4 spots left...for now.

I just got a voicemail from Nancy to get the last 4 of my cc number that wasn't on the fax form. I didn't mean to leave it off....honest! Hopefully that means I was next in line to get charged for the entry. If she reads the email I responded with almost immediately, I should be in......

What a circus act.......

EDIT: Just checked the ninja link above....entrycount at 229 at the moment.....and I'm in. I just wonder how a faxed form with HOOSIER circled, STILL ends up as Kumho on the entry list.......


Jay

Just noticed that, this is going to be a blast! Still 4 spots left...for now.

14 STUers. Only 2 people I don't know. Nuts.

Full up, waiting list building!

I just wonder how a faxed form with HOOSIER circled, STILL ends up as Kumho on the entry list.......
LOL. I circled HOOSIER also and ended up with Hankook.

9 people in ESP, 4 are subies. I know Chris in person, and know of Greg and Karen by name only. Chris and I were at the last pro in FLR if anyone remembers us (both were 06 WRX's). I'm sure Jay remembers me. He was teaching me how to reset a timing belt at 2am in a gas station parking lot.

^^^ would have been ten and I could have represented the 2L ESP WRX's...

Just got home. 230 registered. Tried to register (thinking entry cap was 250) and was denied stating the "waiting list was not enabled". Then why the **** did it let me attempt? This ams scca registration site is pure ****. :mad:

Starting tomorrow: Selling your spot at the DC pro to the highest bidder. :rolleyes:

Sorry you didn't get in. I was looking forward to meeting people I "know" by pictures and names. I wouldn't have signed up if my friend hadn't texted to remind me.

several of the 230 spots on the entry list are repeats...so expect a few people to get in just from weeding out the dups

I'm in... yay <3

Faxed the form in after screwing around with two different computers for 45 minutes. Got the email confirmation two hours later. :)

What does everyone do for a place to stay? Camp? Hotel? Any in particular?

My codriver's not in. :(

What does everyone do for a place to stay? Camp? Hotel? Any in particular?

Camp? - Not in the DC area (not allowed at fedex and you would not want to if they did)
Hotel? - That is going to be your best bet. Not sure where people are staying.

"best bet" if you don't mind driving a little bit may be go up to somewhere right off of 29/95 north of the beltway a little bit. Somewhere like Laurel. Still close to the site, but a better/cheaper area.

I remember you Mechie3. Hope you haven't had to dig into that motor any further since last summer. That said...DC is alot further from home than Romulus....make sure your stuff is in order!!!! :)

Not sure where I'm staying yet....the codriver didn't get in and he usually handles lodging. I'm up for splitting room costs.....and I am not into spooning.

Jay

HAHA! No major repairs on the engine. Just a small boost leak I can't find yet. I actually moved and live in Indianapolis now, but it's still far from home. I've been building up spares slowly and my wife (I got married in Jan) has an envoy that I hope to use to tow my car there.

Get in with the Indy subie crowd if you haven't already. They're a great bunch of guys and very supportive of one another. The local scca region is a great group of folks as well.

and I am not into spooning.

Jay, how do you feel about forking?

There are a lot of Philly guys that stay in the Laurel/Bowie area and it's only about a 15 minute drive or so. Even though my drive is only 55 minutes, I might stay somewhere closer on Saturday night just to make it easier. We'll see though.

Anybody camp at Greenbelt Park? It's about 9 miles away. http://www.nps.gov/gree/

Faadduck you----you faaduckking arsehoel:lol::lol::lol:

See you there Brian!!!!

Damn these events are filling up faster than usual. I'm a month slow and already on the wait list for Toledo. Here's hoping I get it. If so...much thanks to BD for letting me drive!
