    Default motorsportreg

    Is it just me or has the motorsportreg website turned into a Hagerty ad site ?
    Logged on and no calendar or search function, utterly changed site.
    Not to say I am not capable of doing something wrong with this laptop but a simple click on my favorites and motorsprtreg has never come up with this format ever before...

    Anyone else see this ?

    Default Yup

    Like all things, this too appears to have changed.

    See the "H" logo, not sure if sponsor, partner, or new owner.....

    Was able to register for VDCA race at Sav. in Dec. so, all the id/pw/cars seem to have been carried over...

    Looks like so many things that you finally get figured out, comfortable using,....someone felt the need for change...so, it did. Sure you can probably get to stuff, find it, with extra effort....if an improvement? eh? who can tell....

    I liked old format, too. Comfortable, like old shoes... holes and all...............

    Hi Peter,

    Be a longtime, how are you these days?

    Yeah I thought Hagerty was just a sponsor, did not know motorsportreg was sold to them.....

    I hope someone gets their poop together an fixes what is now a screwedup site for racers to maneuver

    I think folks that enter vintage events should have to mail in an application with a check attached using an envelope and stamp... just saying... its vintage.

    You're right. I split the difference... registered online; sent entry fee check via US mail....saved VDCA the 20 bucks handling fee.. PLUS, helped OUR post office's bottom line.

    While on this tack.... Should, require only points, if came that way..... Crank triggers, today, not allowed; yet Pertronics and the like, seem to be perfectly fine to vintage folks today....... CTs came to SCCA in 72 prod cars, as did fender flares....yet never allowed 60 over engines, unrestricted valves/heads, or Webers on LBCs.....

    Let's not start on T and S, and transponders.......

    Let's work a deal on that Pinto out west?

    The search engine function really sucked before, but it must have been reworked. I searched for an event and it came up at the top.
    That never happened before.
