How's about a video feed showing the progress of the hotel in Watkin's Glen? One of my cousin's got a no show no work job there and says they are having permit problems etc.

A few of us already have reservations at a small place on Franklin Street with off street parking.

I want a room at an undisclosed location.

I'm seeing a problem on my PCs running IE6 and IE7.
There are borders between the banner images and the content is below the schedule.
Is anyone else seeing that?

EDIT: I changed the image of the banner so it doesn't have the spaces between the slices.

It also appears that you have a few "bugs" that you need to workout as well!

Unfortunately, this year's Ofest could not be held at a worse time for me personally. End of the Federal FY for a "Parkway Patriot" like myself means long hours and wekends to clean up/closeout the past year's contracts and then get the next year's contracts in place. As a result, I have to pass on this great opportunity. Have to earn the $$$ to keep the toys running.

I'm working on the Ofest registration form.
For now it is at
http://www.bmwccaofest.org/aid=40.phtml

I still need to add classes for concours, TSD and Rally.
There are check boxes that people read a description.
They will be added next week.
Don't put in a credit card number.

The entries will be deleted before we open up registration.

Just looking for some feedback.
I can't change too much on what's there.

[1996 328ti]

There is little I can do to the packages. It wasn't my choice. I would have preferred a full registration price and then add the extras. I look at this stuff so often that I miss the obvious.

The reason for multiple registrations is so each person has their own record in the database. Otherwise you have one column for primary and one for associate. It gets very confusing when pulling reports. All this stuff would notmally be manually entered into our database. With this system we don't need to reenter. Hopefully there will be less errors.

We will be running the cards afterwards. Each member is billed and the payment is under the primary member's account.

I'll look at the package prices again.

[Biggins]

I was a bit curious about the package prices, but I think M2 and an autocross will be good for me...?

I think the form is good and everything is covered, but I think it might be easier to read if you put just a little space between the days. I think it's fine honestly, but I think a little space between days can better distinguish which events are which day? (and yes, I know they're listed on the sidebar).

This all reminds me, I need to renew my membership asap.

[1996 328ti]

Looking at the packages, the M2 package includes the Car Control Clinic.
Not my choice, not my decision.

I'll see if I can give some of the cells a little more space.
There is a lot on the form already.

I would have liked to to be more like the Jonathan's autocross registration.
Maybe next year. For now all the information has to push from one secured server to another secured server.

I'm heading to VIR in a couple hours.

[1996 328ti]

If a few of you would, please enter data in the Ofest form.

It needs to go live soon and I'd like to run a little test first.

Enter test in the comments section and don't send your credit card data.
When the form goes live it will be on our secured server, https://. . . . .
