We are pleased to announce that we have a new branded site for our events registration. The event is powered by the registration engine Track Rabbit, developed with, and inspired by, racecar driver Andy Lally. The Track Rabbit team is built on a customer-first mentality and we expect them to be an extension of our team through customer support and by partnering with us to develop and refine features to support our organization. Track Rabbit has been endorsed by BMWCCA.
As part of your registration, you need to create an account for your first Track Rabbit registration which you will see at the bottom of the event home page. You will receive a confirmation email to verify your email address after you create your account. You can register for one event without verifying your email but it must be verified to register for future events.
