Ok, it is now a month after this thread started, and I'm just now ready to
respond!
The question was "Where does one go to find automotive events online?"
jmb recommended...
>> http://www.drivingevents.com <<
Jeff Nielsen (aka Ugo himself) pointed out...
>> http://www.UgoFast.com <<
And from M(no A)S
>> you might want to consider security and privacy concerns. You'd be surprised
what a web search can reveal from all the unsecure solo2 event info that clubs
post all across the country; you're dirty laundry is hanging all over the web
for anyone to see ... <<
All good! Those sites certainly have some impressive features and quite a list
of events. And Mr Sipe is -exceedingly- correct about the potential personal
security pitfalls that a club websites might fail to consider or address when
posting event results.
I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag before all the chickens were hatched
:-) but here are a few function points that MyAutoEvents.com now adds to the
mix...
User Tools:
* Easy to use search engine with category, location, timeframe, and *distance*
based search criteria
* Individualized personal event calendars
* Automated email based registration reminders
* Search Agents to alert when new events are added that meet saved criteria
* -Secure- stored personal profile (stored in a database that isn't indexed by
the site search engine or accessible by web crawlers) that can be used to
process event registration *without* re-entering information (almost "one-click"
online registration, but not quite).
Event Promoter tools:
* Collaborative event listing management: Event organizers are NOT dependant on
a webmaster to process changes to their event listing - promoters can do it
themselves or proxy this capability to another individual.
* Receive and process registration requests online - with a confirmation message
optionally sent to the entrant
* Group notify all processed entrants or alert all *potential* entrants (based
on event inclusion in users personalized calendars) if/when event details change
* Dynamically generate entry lists (HTML, Excel, and TS98/99 format for
starters) from processed entries
There's more, and I invite you to explore for yourself:
