Registration FAQ

When can I sign up for the new year?

The membership period starts each year around the beginning of December and typically coincides with the International Motorcycle show. Existing members will receive a membership and license packet in the mail. Within a couple days of membership and license packet mailings, membership forms will be posted online. As soon as membership and license forms are made available, they can be submitted.

How can I get a new number or 2-digit number?

As soon as membership forms are available I will be taking new number requests on a first come first serve basis with the completed membership application. There is a space on the membership and license form to request by specific number or by general description, i.e. "lowest 2 digit number".

How do I find out what numbers are available?

All racers have until the February 15th deadline to keep their number from the previous year. So I will not know until that time what numbers are available. You can take a look at the current racer list on the website and see what numbers were not assigned or take a guess on what numbers you might think become available.

When can I sign up to race?

Traditionally new license packets go out the first couple weeks of March and a race registration form will be included in that packet. Within a couple days of license packet mailings, race registration forms will be posted online. As soon as race registration forms are made available, they can be submitted.

What classes can I run my bike in?

Please read that rulebook available online or email the race referee for any needed clarification. It is not the Registrar's job to make sure you enter in the correct race. Although I have a general idea of what bikes usually race in what class it is up to the racer to know the rules and what class his or her bike is eligible for.

I want to race how do I sign up?

You can use the online registration form or you can download a registration form from the registration page, print it, fill it out, and mail or fax it in.

I have a race license with WMRC, do I have to join WMRRA to race?

No, WMRRA has reciprocity with several clubs. You will need to show your current clubs license to be able to pick up your paperwork and race.

If I am number 15 with WSMC can I run my number 15 with WMRRA?

No, you will be assigned whatever number is available for the weekend. Hopefully something easy like 151.

Where's my refund?

The Treasurer handles all refunds and their contact info is on the Contact Info page. The refund form is available for download from the Documents & Forms page. Read the instructions -- any forms not filled out correctly or without a rider receipt will not be processed.

Why can't I pre-pay online?

Because WMRRA doesn't charge your credit card until after the race weekend, and the online registration process doesn't have appropriate security to hold credit card numbers between the time you register and the time your card would be charged. If you would like to pre-pay you will need to fax or snail mail a form with card info on it.

Do I have to pre-pay to pre-enter?

No, but pre-payment makes it easier on race day, since your paperwork will be ready for you at the Tech Inspection station.

I picked up my paperwork on race day but never made it out to the track, can I get a refund.

Yes, you can fill out and submit a refund form with your race receipt and get your race entry minus the $50 registration fee and the $10 Medic One fee.

I didn't race but I pre-paid, how do I get a refund?

If you never showed up and picked up your paperwork you will be marked as a 'no-show' and not charged.

Why can't I just use my refund as a credit?

Right now the WMRRA database is not set up to handle credits and every race event must be treated separately.

How can I find out if you received my registration?

Race registration entry usually happens about a week before each event and you will receive an email confirmation at that time. If you wait until the deadline to enter it is likely that you won't get a confirmation email until Wednesday or Thursday before the race weekend.

How can I find out if you received my membership application?

I try and post a list of application received periodically on the WMRRA forums and on the email list.

Can I pick my Novice race number?

No, Novices will be assigned a 900 number as entries are received.

Can I choose my number once I graduate?

Once you complete your graduation requirements you will be assigned an 800 number, usually one that is similar to your 900 number if possible and be considered a Graduated Novice.

How long do I have to use an 800 number?

For 3 race weekends or until the end of the year, whichever comes first.

Can I choose my number after I complete my time as a Graduated Novice?

After you finish your heats or year as a Graduated Novice you are now considered an Expert and can request an Expert number (6-699).
