Beyond the event

registration is one page. your club is the rest.

Registration is the start of the season, not the whole of it. Dues, applications, the forum, the garage, and the marketplace live on the same platform as the event.

Membership with a door policy. Roles, dues, referral-only links, a prohibited list, and an audit log of every change.
The car on the RSVP. Members register with a car from their garage, so the club already knows what is showing up.
A place to talk between events. Forum, member feed, marketplace, and a curated map of roads, shops, and meeting points.
Public pages that bring people in. Your club page and open events are indexed by Google.
Zero platform fee. No subscription and no per-ticket fee, so the price of an event is the venue and the insurance, not the software.

Switching

moving from the foat.

We onboard every organization individually. Three steps, and your next event runs here.

01Export

bring your people.

Export members and past attendees to CSV. We import them with roles and status set, so nobody re-registers.

02Configure

set up your first event.

Tiers, capacity, waiver, and visibility. Stripe connects on your own account, so payments never touch ours.

03Launch

send one invite.

Members get one link. Public events get their own page. The old tools quietly become unnecessary.
