I just got on to see how fast the member experiences go and at 2 minutes after both the pace car rides and the intros are GONE!
Looks like I will have to be SUPER fast for Iowa.

What are tips to get the experiences?
I hope to be able to get them on my phone since I'm not sure if I will be back from Rochester (Mayo) by the time of release.
Don't know what to tell you. Super fast computer, understanding where to start, super fast computer skills , high speed internet, and a little luck. I got to the "add to cart button", clicked on it "item no longer available". Went back and signed back in and got just "item no longer available" Didn't even get the "add to cart button". So I was close but, no pace car ride. That was in less than fifteen seconds. Probably closer to ten. That is why I don't like how they do this. The best snipers with high speed internet and high speed computers have the advantage and that is not fair for all members. There are still people with dial up out there and people who are just happy to be able to turn their computer on. But it is what it is unless they change it.Originally Posted by braillerjenn
My main fear is being on my blackberry on the road from Rochester. I know it won't be fast. I am hoping to be able to stop someplace with free Wi-Fi on my way home.
I haven't even gotten the "add the cart button"
Thanks. ( I'm just whining.)
That's okay. I'm whining too. I would just like to see it fair (and I'm a pretty fair sniper). I still think the best way to do this is make sure you have member events at every race where members come. Then have a raffle. that way you are rewarding the people who actually bought tickets, are participating in the members event (such as the tailgate), and are physically there so you know they will get used. If no member events, a registration process could be used with a random pick. I still kinda miss the points system where you could redeem points for member experiences. It rewarded people for their involvement. But, it is a growing club and hopefully it keeps growing to a point where it is better and better and it will only get that way with member involvement.
The pitpass deal for milwaukee was disappointing. Not because you had to pay, but because it included a ticket. A ticket that I already bought and PAID for.
I'm a little suspicious about that. I did the same thing for a pace car ride at Indy on Pole Day. I was on the web site, refreshing it repeatedly, the very instant the rides became available. It couldn't have been more than two seconds they appeared when I entered my request...and got the message that they were all gone. Not minutes, seconds.

Oh well, I said then. It was more for my son than me. But...sometimes I wonder...

Well, the email I got in reply to the email I sent yesterday was that I need to be on the site EARLY and get to the page I want and keep refreshing until I get the shopping cart. So I am going to be at a hotel in Rochester with Wi-Fi next Monday and Tuesday (those are the usual days the offers open) with 2 different browsers open. I only get 1 live Indy Car race a year and that is Iowa.
When do Member Experiences go on "sale" for each race??? 2 weeks prior/10 days prior/at a specific time???
YIKES!!!!!! 100TH POST!!!!!!!!!

It is the week of the race. It has been the Monday or Tuesday of the race (except Indy when they were doing things almost every day).
It is 8PM Eastern (7PM Central)
Like I said. There has to be a fairer way. If not then it will be hard to keep the members you have and attract the members you want. But, alas, I am not running it and can only give my opinion. One that at least appears to have a sound basis.
