Important information for signing-up (read and heed this carefully before registration opens if you really want to attend):

• Due to very high expected demand, completing the online registration process DOES NOT mean you are Confirmed to attend the event
• Sign-up correctly when registrations first opens to maximize your chances of being Confirmed
• To sign-up correctly, thoroughly read this information page and the next, follow all instructions (many of which need to be completed before registrations opens), then carefully fill out the registration form on the third page once it becomes available
• If you do not perform the steps that are required to be competed before you go on to register, you will likely either not be able to complete registration before a sellout occurs or you will have an incomplete registrations which will cause a loss of your registration priority based upon time of sign-up
• Your card will not be charged when you sign-up (though the number will be collected)
• You must monitor your email regularly and be prepared to respond within 24 hours (8 hours the week of the event) to any inquiries you receive or you will lose your priority
• Plan to check your Dashboard on MotorsportReg about 2 weeks after registration opens to view your status
• If you are Waitlisted, we do expect movement in the Waitlist as Confirmed participant cancellations occur

When you initially register your status will be New, which simply means you attempted to register, but you have not yet been accepted into the event.  It is your responsibility to check back within 2 weeks to determine your true status (e.g., Confirmed, Waitlisted, On Hold, etc.).  You may view your status by returning to this page and clicking on the "View current entry list" link at the top of the box to the right.

The base price for this event (assumes early registration, no need to rent anything, proper credentials, etc.) is $290 for the weekend.  Expected track time per entrant exceeds 3 hours, and traffic is anticipated to be low so everyone should be able to get tons of flying laps.  Our $/hour ratio is among the lowest of any group, especially when you factor in the quality aspect.  You may sign up for one or both days, though two day registrations take priority over one day registrations.  See the Payment section below for more info.

To register we require that you join the PCA - San Diego group here on MotorsportReg.com (note:  this just means adding PCA - San Diego to your list of Clubs on MotorsportReg; it does not make you a member of PCA).  Regardless of which region of PCA you belong to or if you don't belong to PCA at all, you must join the SDR group on this web site (again, doing so will not make you a member of PCA).  This will be done as a step in the registration process.  Non-Porsches that meet our rules are welcome!!!

Physical Damage Insurance:  Insurance for your car is available for this event via Lockton Affinity, LLC, PCA's exclusively endorsed insurance provider.  Note that liability coverage is not included and Time Trial Timed Runs now appear to be insurable for an additional charge.  This insurance is strictly optional.  Be sure to read all the fine print.  For more info click here and search for Willow Springs September 19-20.

Lap Times and Event Info on your Mobile Phone:  You may sign-up for our mobile phone timing and notification system as part of your registration for this event.  For a Standard subscription (lap times for your car, notifications of postings for your run group, and important announcements), simply check the box that says you do not want a Custom subscription.  Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service, you MUST have your mobile phone number on file with MotorsportReg in the Mobile/Cell field or your registration will not be processed.  Having your mobile number in any other field while leaving the Mobile/Cell field blank amounts to not having your mobile number in the system.  Again, your registration is not valid until this has been completed and others registering after you will be prioritized ahead of you.  To check or input this, sign in, then click the “My Account” tab in the Dashboard, then click “Edit profile”, then click “Edit My Information”.  Enter your mobile phone number into the field titled “Mobile/Cell” – even if you already have it in other fields – then click “Save My Information”.
