We called them, and they said that it was due to "high traffic". Way to drop the ball on that.

[Daleezer]

Same for us. This is what happens when you have all the sae comps register at the same time.

[MatadorMotorsports]

Site down for me too.

[mech5107]

We can't access the site either...

(I'm from Greece...)

[d.madnick]

Yah, same here. We called and they may let us register over the phone...still on hold though

[MatadorMotorsports]

Any chance you can share that telephone number?

[roepke44]

man, what is the number to call?

[P. Jayaraman]

Yeah, we could use that number too. I'm pinging the site and its constantly timing out

Maybe that phone number should be kept secret, we might take their phone system down too.

[Andy K]

I've never understood why they don't stagger the registration times by an hour. Mind you, registering for Baja wasn't this bad last year.

[d.madnick]

It doesn't matter. They won't let us register over the phone. We'll just have to wait.

[MatadorMotorsports]

Bummer. Anyone need more coffee?

[Daleezer]

We're trying the number on the back of the SAE card.

So whoever waits it out the longest gets to register?

A rescheduling sounds more logical, but who knows what they'll do.

[mbzimmerman3]

yea, we tried to call and register over the phone and they said to just wait it out and register online.

[Shane_V]

has anyone that has talked to them on the phone heard how long this is supposed to take?

[inorman]

While you wait, imagine what the SAE web dude is doing right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_Kfjo3VjU

[Dash]

They have no clue how long it will be down. Just have to wait till traffic slows up. aka, people stop hitting refresh ten times a second.

[Daleezer]

I was wondering the same thing so I'm trying right now.

[Baz]

Hope College is in - car #21!! We are a first year team and are looking forward to seeing everyone else there!

Advice for registering - give SAE a call, they will do it over the phone. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
