Clearing up some basic questions.

Post by Chris Myers »

Thanks to Steve Ekstrand for giving some more info between the membership and the points card.

Just had a few more questions:

1) I purchased the yearly SCCA membership at the last event, and I was given a yellow copy of the paper I signed ( basically a receipt). Do I need to bring this receipt with me to future events also? My receipt unfortunately got a little crumpled in my pocket.

2) I also purchased a points card, went through the whole process and picked an available number and paid. Now aside from the paypal statement being emailed to me does anything else happen? I believe I read the points card isn't a tangible card anymore, but is there anyway to acknowledge I'm in the system?

Thanks! And I apologize if this info was written down somewhere.

1) Until you receive your hard card (or have access to your SCCA account on scca.com that you can show on your phone), bring the yellow paper. Life becomes easier once they send you the confirmation; sometimes they are quick, sometimes it takes a month or two.

2) Contact Kurt Rahn to make sure he updates your listing both on the google doc as well as solo2.motorsportsreg.com so you can register w/ your number online, but it can be found on solo2.com --> Members --> Points Card. If you already paid & have the paypal statement, just keep that one around. If that doesn't happen before next event, just make sure they update it at registration.

Yes, until you receive your actual card in the mail, which really should happen before the next event.
2) I also purchased a points card, went through the whole process and picked an available number and paid. Now aside from the paypal statement being emailed to me does anything else happen?

Go to the home page (click logo at top of page), click Members>Points Cards>Points Card Listings and check there. I don't see your name as yet, but Kurt should process it before the next event also. Your number will also be put in the permanent number list on MotorsportsReg.com so when you register online it will be available to you.

Thanks Quoc-Viet and Rick!

I'll be sure to keep my eye on the mail and look for the card.

I private messaged Kurt, so hopefully everything will be processed soon!

Thanks again for the help!

Just a whole batch of points cards. Yours was among them, Chris.
