Hi, Apologies if iām missing it, but when does the late morning (saturday) session start? Also what time would i need to get there for sign on etc? I also presume meeting is at the pitlane? Thanks  All that information will be sent out Wednesday - Yes I know that seems late but it's actually very normal (well for RR events it is) Right now I'm dealing with the "sorry my car won't be ready" emails and filling up the odd spaces that have become available So I always send it out as late as possible so I don't have to send it out to individual emails over several days Hope this is OK? yeah mate thats sound sorry reread the confirmation email after and saw that note. Cheers |

Public information broadcast  For the Saturday Track Activities all those accepted and who have paid - Information packs and paddock passes have been sent out We still have very limited spaces for the Early afternoon "Short Course Sprint" and just a couple of Late Afternoon "Hot Laps" I will be contacting people on the reserve list or who have expressed an interest in this thread For the Sunday Track activity (Autosolo) we have a few spaces in all sessions and those that have applied and paid will be getting info packs and paddock passes later today We've definitely had some frustrations with "gmail" and "outlook" email addresses this year so we need to find a way to get around those providers very aggressive spam filters - we've had very clear examples that they don't just put emails from "retro-rides.org" in a spam folder but delete them completely but that's outside of my abilities as I'm a bit of a luddite with techie stuff. |

Itās maybe worth a little experiment - if a gmail/outlook account holder has the RR email address in their address book/safe sender list, does it still get āvanishedā? Additionally, have you raised this with Google/ M$? I know they seem like faceless behemoths but they must have people working on this sort of stuffā¦? Also, have you considered that it might be an issue of āhowā emails are sent? If the Google/MS mail servers are suddenly hit with a barrage of similar emails from a single point of origin then it might reasonably assume they are spam. This might be a TryBooking issue not just related to RR? |

Itās maybe worth a little experiment - if a gmail/outlook account holder has the RR email address in their address book/safe sender list, does it still get āvanishedā? Good suggestions - I actually got an email from someone who applied asking to be updated (he gave me his phone number) I'd sent them a session offer - they hadn't got it - it didn't bounce back to me - he works in IT it wasn't in his spam I sent it again and rang him to check - it didn't arrive and he was expecting it and looking for it I sent it from my personal email address it arrived fine - it seems they don't like our domain name  Additionally, have you raised this with Google/ M$? I know they seem like faceless behemoths but they must have people working on this sort of stuffā¦? Also, have you considered that it might be an issue of āhowā emails are sent? If the Google/MS mail servers are suddenly hit with a barrage of similar emails from a single point of origin then it might reasonably assume they are spam. This might be a TryBooking issue not just related to RR? Emails from trybooking seem to get thro OK so the tech team (well HoTWire) may well try that route for the future |

 Question regarding paddock for tracktime, where abouts on the map is it? I feel daft or must be blind or it's missing on the map  |

Clothing rule is coming out tonight (or tomorrow morning) as a separate email along with a couple of other points Goodwood like me to make Arms and legs covered is the rules - no difference between soft tops or tin tops at this event |

I'm glad that you found it but I just wonder what triggered that to go to junk when we've already had an email conversation - haven't we?? Maybe we did some of it via PM - I need to be careful with that. |

Sorry to be a pain for asking, but I haven't received the info pack yet regarding my track time for Sunday the 21st. Ive checked my spam and junk and I'm afraid it's not there.
Would it be possible to re send it at all?
Many thanks

That's fair enough. Hopefully we can sit in reserve. My son is 18 and a chip off the old block. Should 1 place become available to us I'd stand aside and let him take it. We're coming from the Isle of Wight and have booked our event tickets and ferry for both cars so will be there regardless. Sent you a PM |

Just thought I'd add - after not initially receiving any emails from retro-rides.org to my GMail account and having to reissue the tickets via the web site (good move, RR), I added track@retro-rides.org to my Google contacts list.
Lo and behold, the info pack landed in my inbox unscathed - so maybe it's worth doing the same if you have had trouble.
