Online Registration

So how about it CCS? Even old WERA has it now and they are mom and pop. 
WSMC has had it for awhile and they are even smaller than CCS Florida.

Apparently faxing and snail mail is easier than a secure, online form that fills out the blanks, would diminish errors in handwritten forms, be more secure than mailing your CC #, would be easier for those registering, and destroys less trees....apparently.

i offered this one up about a year ago...

here's a direct quote from their website.  it's turnkey registration at its finest:

"Clubs manage their driving and social events with MotorsportReg.com to accept online registration, send email, generate reports and more. Participants create a single profile and use our site to find, register and pay for events."

From their website:
The #1 choice in event management for track organizations, TIGER enables organizers to:

    * Take registrations online
    * Allow your customers to manage their own registration according to your policies
    * Provide advanced products such as Season Passes, Ticket Packs, event bundles, credit management, discounts, special pricing for select groups
    * Full customer relationship management
    * Real-time view of the sales status of each event
    * Flexible profit vs. cost modelling. See at a glance how much you're making for each event and the season overall
    * Automated secure credit card processing, track check receipts and keep tabs on how much has been paid and how much is pending for each event
    * Print personalized registration forms and tech stickers
    * Tools to streamline the check-in process, including barcodes and other tracking tools... and "express check-in" at  Tech Inspection for organizations that allow that
    * Registration management tools
    * Flexible billing policies (all now, some now, all later, etc)
    * Waitlist management tools
    * For race organizations, a built in AI that automatically figures out which classes a rider is eligible for based on an interview about their vehicle, their age, license status, laptimes... you name it!
    * And much more!

I highlighted the stuff that seems appealing if I were a race organizer.

Nope. Sorry- it makes too much sense to impliment! LOL

I offered to code an online registration for no charge, just to avoid having to mail/fax forms in...was turned down.

I really hope that they implement an online registration system, it would simplify things a ton for those paper challenged like myself :-)

I'd like to see this as well, it sure makes things a lot easier on the rider.

I would imagine those 3rd party registration processing businesses would charge a fee per transaction. Obviously the person pre-entering would have to absorb that extra cost, but I would be more concerned about what happens while your standing at registration in the morning and you find out the registration processing business screwed up your pre-registration? Can CCS immediately resolve the issue online or over the phone with the 3rd party registration processing business using your confirmation receipt you printed off from that business during pre-registration? I had that happen with a CCS controlled pre-entry at Barber, pre-entry got lost so I had to post-enter, at that time 2 of the classes I had pre-entered were now full and not available to me - after both of those races were already completed my pre-entry was found and I was paged to registration. Things like that can happen, but when your dealing with a 3rd party the whole 'blame game' can get out of control.

Heck, I'm surprised there isn't an iPod app for pre-reg.
