Walk-up + manual entries
Cash, day-of, no problem.
Some of your best entrants are the strangers who pull in 20 minutes before gates with a perfect '67 Camaro and a roll of cash. ModLinQ has a manual-entry form that takes 30 seconds: name, email, vehicle (or just "red Camaro"), entry number. They're in the show. Their email gets a claim invite. They wake up the next morning to a build profile waiting for them on ModLinQ.
The 30-second form
Name, email, vehicle, done.
On the manage page there's a single form. Type the entrant's name. Type their email if they have one (skip if not). Vehicle as a free-text field — "Red '67 Camaro" is fine, you don't need year/make/model dropdowns at the gate. Submit. They get an entry number, they're in the show, they count toward capacity.

Claim flow
From paper-form to ModLinQ profile in 90 seconds.
If they gave you an email, they get a claim invite. Click the link, sign up or sign in, and the entry attaches to their ModLinQ account. Their build profile is now linked to your event. Next year they're a returning entrant with their photos, mods, and history attached. Walk-ups become repeat customers.
It works for paid shows too.
Cash at the gate? Add the manual entry, mark it paid (we don't take a commission on cash), they're in. The cash entry counts toward your spectator/vehicle cap so you don't oversell.
