That event does not show up on the list for me to register (everything else is there).  I am in contact with the national office to remedy.

Anybody else have that issue?  Might explain some things...

Yep, same here.  I can't edit my entry.  Messed up on the number. 

Looking forward to seeing these problems fixed so we can get some people entered and ready for Wendover!!

 Same problem here.  I also tried going through the ProSolo page but online registration takes me to the event info link. 

Wow, the lack of a proper registration link does explain a lot!  I wonder how many people haven't registered yet because the link is broken

I'm getting similar reports from our local forums.  I sure hope the problem is fixed soon.  Who do we need to contact to be sure the problem is remedied?

Wendover registration is now open again. 

--Andy

Oh good.  I'll pass the word to our local guys that haven't registered yet :)

 Thanks Andy :)

Wendover needs some more SM2 cars!! since its going to be a fast course, why not run some fast cars. I know Erik is sad he can't run with Andy and I :)

lol, I'm not sure what podunk town you live in to think that Wendover offers plenty of fun in the evenings

the site is OK for competition purposes, but everything else pretty much s-cks including the scorching heat

I hate wind

I hate heat

 
Vegas, San Fran, PHX, another El Toro, Denver, Topeka.....  So many other places I'd rather be going than Wendover.  And my car SUCKS on concrete since my tuning range is for medium to low grip asphalt.  And power at 4300 feet sucks even worse than it does at sea level.  Tough to imagine I'd have less torque than normal.  Like what is half of zero?

Yes, but it's a DRY scorching heat!

I dunno, I think Wendover is 10x better than any other national venue.  Racing, drinking, gambling, cigars, creepy burnt up hangars and airplanes, and 100 miles of nothing in any direction - a dirty strip joint called "the titty twister" would make it just about perfect (IMO).

I'd rather have heat any day over a place that rains.  110 may suck, but the temp going +- 5 degrees from there isn't going to cause 3-6 second disparities in times the way wet/drying conditions can.  Nothing like driving 1600 miles each way to have the outcome decided by a roll of the number-choosing dice...

Plus some of the fastest, longest ProSolo courses in the series!

110 sucks, yes, but 90 in Maryland with 100% humidity sucks 1000x worse than 110 in Wendover with 20% humidity.

The event is what you make of it. I always have fun when I'm out there, which is why I make the trip. Sounds like some people don't have fun. That's fine; that's why I didn't go to Toledo. <shrug>

I go to have fun, and I always do at Wendover.  The last Wendover it was in the 80s.  Only one time in the last 15 years have I been there when it was over 100.  Plus, it's kind of like the cross between a old western ghost town and a minature Las Vegas.

I live in Salt Lake, and of all the venues we have (Including Miller Motorsports), Wendover is my favorite by FAR.  The traction makes up for almost all the downsides, and the courses we can make out there make up for the rest.  There is nothing like having a 70 second course that you can get over 1G on with your mini spare's on! 

 It has to be the best surface I have ever driven on.  If you miss the sufrace at the old Topeka Nationals site, this is about the same.  (I think a little better. Crumbling too!)
