A new digital Club Roster is now online and available to Early Ford V-8 Club members that have a membership which includes receiving the V-8 TIMES in the mail, or a “Digital-Only” V-8 TIMES membership.  The digital Roster makes it easy to find other Club members or search for Club members with a specific make or model vehicle.

The online Roster provides access to the same information found in the paper Roster that members receive in the mail.  To access the Online Roster, go to the Early Ford V-8 Club website at:   https://www.earlyfordv8.org and click on “Membership” located on the left side of the screen.  Once logged in, you will see at the very top of the page, the words “Membership”. “Online Magazine”, “Roster” and “Logout”.  To access the digital version of the Roster, click on the word “Roster”.

By clicking on “Roster”, a pull down menu will appear that gives you the options “Search Members” or “Search Vehicles”.  From there you can search members by name or by vehicle make/model.  If, for example, on the “Search Members” screen you enter the name “Bob” and the city “San Diego”, you will see all the members named Bob that live in the city of San Diego.  If you wish to see if one of the Bobs have their name or address listed in the Roster, there is a link next to their name to “View Details”.  On the “Search Vehicle” screen if you enter 1932 Ford Roadster, you will see a list of members that have listed that they own a 1932 Ford Roadster.  If you click on their name, you will see the additional information they have listed in the Roster.

Only Early Ford V-8 Club members with membership that include the V-8 TIMES magazine in the mail or a “Digital-Only” membership can access the Online Roster.  To access it, a member needs to enter their User Name or EFV-8 Membership Number and password.  The general public has no access to the Online Roster.  The type of information found in the Online Roster is the same as in the magazine-style Roster.  The Early Ford V-8 Club safeguards this information and never shares it with any entity outside of the Early Ford V-8 Club

Members can manage their own personal and vehicle Roster information.  A member can list all, some, or none of their information.  Having your information in the Roster is an option, not a requirement.

The Online Roster gives members the tool to add, remove or update Roster information and the Online Roster will be immediately updated.  The information contained in the Online Roster will be the source of the information used for the yearly printing of the paper version of the Roster.

An advantage of the Online Roster is that members can access it from anywhere using a smart phone, tablet, or computer.  If you are out on the road without your paper Roster and need to find a member that lives in close vicinity, or a member that has a similar car to help with an issue, the Online Roster can be a great asset.  If you meet a member at a National Meet and are having a hard time finding them in the paper Roster because you don’t know the state they live in, or just remember their last name, the Online Roster’s search ability would be a welcome tool.  Try it; I think you will like it!
