If you do the CHP check and get your VIN there, it's one less thing you have to do at DMV. Even though CHP requires an appointment, they're faster and more efficient than DMV. There are some lists that indicate you have to have the car verified or inspected at both places, but since you have to do the CHP one, you can skip the DMV one. You DO have to have a VIN before they can put in the request for a sequence number.

I think you're correct on B&L, but you may as well get that (and any fixes) taken care of while you're waiting for appointments etc.

You mean TIN? In prior years, we were able to obtain an SB100 # before the actual CHP VIN assignment. I still think that's the case.

No, one guy was sent home because he didn't have a VIN. She gave him the option of bringing the vehicle in for inspection and VIN assignment but couldn't start the SPCNS process without it.

Gunner,
That's what the clerk was trying to tell me. She even asked me if the car was there for inspection. Luckily the Beck Spyder guy was saying 'out loud' to stand my ground on this. Then she went to find out the answer and came back a long while later with the sequence number.
It's a shame that we know more about this then they do.

From an out-of-state person it sure seems like it would be a lot easier to get an apartment in Vegas for a year just to have your cars and driver's license registered there

Fly in once a month, gamble, drink, make a trip out to the speedway, buy some overpriced CS merchandise, and still be $$$ a head at the end of the year....with more stories and less stress

Hats off to those of you in CA with the perseverance to keep the dream alive.

They enter a placeholder VIN in the DMV before you have a verified VIN. In many cases, people have gotten their SB100 sequence number using the placeholder VIN (or TIN).

Rodneym got his SB100 number today without visiting the CHP and/or having a verified VIN.

Just goes to show that the DMV doesn't have a consistent repeatable process in place for SB100 applications.

POC -piece of cake DMV Westminister,Ca. Seperate line for SB-100 people got in at 7:45 (before doors opened), only 4 people - my SPF 1172 Cobra, 2 Lamborgini (sp) kit cars ,1 '29 Ford Roadster. Walked us up to our own window, took our paper work. Waited 40-45 minutes while they called for numbers, got out before 9:00. They know their stuff. Lamborgini guys drove up from SanDiego based on what they heard about Westminister DMV. Our helper girl was even cute. Clean living I guess.

Well, you know what they say about those Kirkham owners...

Actually, what do they say?

Rodney, I'm sure the other people waiting in line would leave you strung up with wire or rope outside the DMV, if you're someone in line and you hadn't already started the process before January 1st.
