First off, this will not work on all trackers.
But in some cases, Google happens to crawl the signup page of a tracker at the moment it had open signups. In that case a copy of the page will be stored in Google. We can use this to our advantage.
Procedure:
just go to google.com and type in cache:[signup url] and you will be taken to the signup page. If it has had opened to signups recently, then there are very good chances that you will see a signup form.
Case study:
At the point of writing this, unleashthe.net has closed signups (signup page: unleashthe.net/signup.php).
If you type "cache:unleashthe.net/signup.php" in Google's search bar you are taken to a cache version of the signup page.
Last thoughts:
Maybe if we find enough torrent trackers to which we can signup with this process, then maybe we should have a separate thread listing those.
