Common questions

Where do I find vehicle IDs?

Vehicle IDs are printed on dash cards in the windshield. Ask the entrant or staff if a card is missing.

Can I save and finish later?

Some events let you save a draft. Submit before voting closes to make sure your votes count.

I entered the wrong vehicle code.

Contact the head judge or organizer immediately. They may be able to help before results are finalized.
