How to Register as a Driver and Join Events

If you plan to show your car at a meet or event, CrateOS makes it easy to register and stay organized. Whether you're applying for a curated show or pulling into a local meet, here's how to get started as a driver on CrateOS.

👤 Who Should Sign Up as a Driver?

If you have a car you'd like to register for an event, you should sign up as a driver. Even if you're also attending events without showing your car, having a driver account lets you do both from one place.

If you're only attending and not showing a car, you can RSVP as an attendee without signing up. But to register a vehicle, you must create a driver account.

🔧 How to Sign Up as a Driver

To get started:

1. Go to crateonscene.com
2. Click Sign Up in the top right
3. Select "I'm a Driver"
4. Enter your name, email, and password

Once signed up, you'll be taken to your Driver Portal.

🏎️ Inside the Driver Portal

Your portal is where you manage everything related to your cars and events. You can:

• Add your car to your garage – Include images, make/model, and basic details
• Browse upcoming events – Easily see which events are open for driver registration or general RSVP
• Register your car for events that accept participants
• RSVP as an attendee for events you want to check out but not participate in
• Download your social badge – If you're approved, check the event page or Upload Center for a ready-to-use social badge you can post on Instagram or Stories

📋 Managing Your Events

From your dashboard, you’ll see a list of all the events you’re involved in:

• Registered as a Participant: View your approval status, payment notes (if applicable), and access Event-Day Instructions like roll-in times, what to bring, and arrival gates.
• RSVP’d as an Attendee: View any instructions or notes shared by the organizer for attendees.

✅ Quick Reminders

• You only need one driver account to register cars and RSVP to any event.
• You'll be notified by email when your car is approved, waitlisted, or denied for an event.
• You can update your car details at any time in your garage.
