Ron Janzen Posted March 27, 2024 Share Posted March 27, 2024 Hi, I have a newbie question. Does reserving my racing number with AutoCross also mean that number is reserved for Time Attack or is there a seperate process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this last time. https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/wcma-2024-car-classing-number-reservation-licenses-western-canada-462340 I just register my 2024 # on the link provided, just skip all the classing info stuff and on the class drop down select “TimeAttack” and select your number. Took 20seconds. Edited March 27, 2024 by FFAttack Added info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Janzen Posted March 27, 2024 Author Share Posted March 27, 2024 (edited) Lol, wouldn't you know it...all of 6 numbers registered and one of them is mine. I guess it will be painters tape for the season. Edited March 27, 2024 by Ron Janzen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad this post reminded me……maybe it was me who got your number Edited March 27, 2024 by FFAttack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donrolandofurioso Posted March 27, 2024 Share Posted March 27, 2024 Hi Ron There was a discussion among the various discipline directors, and it was concluded that each discipline should retain their own numbers. Please register your number with WSCC as per Jeremy's description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Janzen Posted March 28, 2024 Author Share Posted March 28, 2024 Thanks, all done. I'll be streaming the Beatles "When I'm Sixty Four" while I tear up the track this summer. In AutoX I will be 5 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Janzen Posted March 28, 2024 Author Share Posted March 28, 2024 Lol, at least 59 will be more competitive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Janzen Posted May 13, 2024 Author Share Posted May 13, 2024 Not sure what happened when I did this because it appears the number I reserved (64) is taken and the number I was told is not available (59) is now unassigned. In the meantime, I ordered new signs and won't be able to use them. Sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebly Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 Yeah, looks like you were dealing with this issue back in March, but it appears that you are assigned #64. Not unless there is another Ron J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Janzen Posted May 14, 2024 Author Share Posted May 14, 2024 Hmmm, more puzzling. That's not what I got when I registed for time attack. I'll try editing my registration and see if that pull down comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed "classing" from the title so we don't duplicate information with an existing sub-forum dedicated to Time Attack classing issues. Getting back to your difficulty selecting your number from the MSR registration page, I think this is the same problem we had last year. Apparently the WCMA reserved number database is not properly sync'd with MSR reserved number pool. It's not an easy fix from what I understand. I suppose we'll have to live with this gremlin for another year, not unlike registering for Time Attack Saturday only and not being able to rent a transponder or even select Time Attack as your group. That's why you will see the Saturday-only entries shown as Closed Wheel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Janzen Posted May 15, 2024 Author Share Posted May 15, 2024 Thanks for the follow-up. Hope you get the gremlins! Actually, I'd love to see an AMC Gremlin (401-XR!) on the track sometime, they were fairly wide stance and might even handle well. But it's only old geezers like me who even remember odd rides like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donrolandofurioso Posted May 15, 2024 Share Posted May 15, 2024 The problem here is that the drivers need to register their Time Attack number with WCMA, but the Autoslalom numbers are tracked only within our club. You can't assume that you can use the same number in both disciplines, because one person may have reserved that number already for a discipline. Therefore, that desired number is available for discipline A, but not available for discipline B. If you want to keep your number across both disciplines, you need to pick a number that hasn't been already taken in either discipline. Record that number with WCMA for Time Attack, and with the Autoslalom guys here in the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems silly to have to register Time attack numbers with them and all the others are WSCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donrolandofurioso Posted May 16, 2024 Share Posted May 16, 2024 Because this is where Time Attack (and Road Racing) keep their car number library. WSCC does not keep separate records of who has what number - Autoslalom is really the odd man out here. Ice Racing is keeping yet again their own separate set of car numbers - I hope that those discipline directors will come around eventually to make it easier for our racers. Advantage of doing it through WCMA is that during the registration process your car and car number are filled in automatically. I understand (never tried it) that WMCA will automatically check whether the number you want is already taken and will not let you take it. If everybody registers their car numbers with WCMA, then there won't be any of those annoying, time-consuming instances where two people have registered with the same number and are now arguing who should get that number, as both parties had already signs with that number made.

p0rsche Posted May 17, 2024 Share Posted May 17, 2024 The WCMA/WSCC system for time attack number reservations is not working. I have #11 reserved with WCMA for 2024 time attack competition and this is what I'm presented with when I try to register: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donrolandofurioso Posted May 20, 2024 Share Posted May 20, 2024 hmmm.... not sure what to say here. I know that Dason does not use #11 for Time Attack, unless he changed his number over the winter. When did this window pop up? While you were trying to sign up on MSReg.com for Time Attack at the first event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Snake Posted May 21, 2024 Share Posted May 21, 2024 Yeah, I'm definitely not using #11. I believe I may have tried that many years ago, but somebody else always wanted it too. MSR def shows me as #488 on my profile, I can't believe nobody wants to fight me for that number! Dason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Snake Posted May 23, 2024 Share Posted May 23, 2024 I'm having trouble getting out of that magically reserved #11 now. I'm not sure why this is a thing now. I had to use it to sign up for Sunday, it wouldn't give me any other option. My number is actually 488. I'll try to get this figured out. Sorry for the confusion.
