Lower event costs and a new way to register for DE in 2010
The cost to participate in a DE this year will be $50 per event less than last year! Not only that, you don’t have to register for multiple events to get the savings.
Your exec analyzed the costs of DE and observed the following :
1. Event prices were inflated to allow for multiple event discounts.
2. By eliminating the discounts for multiple events, the price for any event could be reduced for everyone.
3. In 2009 participants who signed up for 4 events got a 15 percent reduction providing they attended all 4 events. This year with reduced event charges, someone who attends four events pays almost the same rate as last year. People who sign up for 3 events or less save money compared to 2009.
Equally important is the fact that you will pay only about five weeks before the event. So, you can register for as many events as you intend to attend during the season knowing that you’ll be charged as you go.
New Registration Procedure
Rennsport will use www.Clubregistration.net, like most of PCA. If you have signed up for events at Watkin’s Glen you’ll know about it, in fact if you registered for events with CVR or NER at Le Circuit you had no choice but to use it.
Clubregistration.net is an online automated system which lets you find and register for events in almost all the regions of PCA. Once you have created an account and filled in your information registering for an event with Rennsport or another PCA region takes only a few seconds.
Registration for all Rennsport events opens March 1st, 2010. Here’s an idea of how it works :
1. Using your browser, go to www.Clubregistration.net
2. If this is your first time, you’ll need to create an account. Simply pick a user-name and a password. Push the “create” button. If the name is already in use, you’ll be told, and you can try another one.
3. Then, you need to create your profile. Click on the Edit Profile button. You’ll see a number of options. Fill in your Personal Info. That’s your name, phone number, email and so on. Then your car info, driving experience (resume) emergency contacts etc. Be sure to fill in your car number used for DE. If you are a new comer and don’t have a number, one will be assigned to you.
4. Now you’re ready to register ! Use the “Search for events” button and pick Rennsport from the list of clubs/organizations. You will see details on all our events. Signing up is a simple as selecting an event and pressing a few buttons.
5. Note the dates of the event and the closing date – that’s the last day you can register for the event. You can sign up for any event that’s open and your account will be charged only about 5 weeks before the event itself. This is a good way to reserve a place at future events.
It pays to register early since last season several events at Le Circuit sold out rather quickly.
You’ll notice that when you register, you won’t be able to pay for the event(s). Don’t panic! Around five weeks before the event, you’ll receive an email asking you to go back to Clubregistration and pay for the event. At that time you’ll see the option and you’ll be able to pay with a credit card. All charges are in Canadian dollars.
We hope you enjoy the new system and the money you’re saving !
