Very alert and very good catch but it does not change anything thing - I should have said the France family and left out the word "bill" - no comment on the real issue?

I am glad some of what I said is OK - at least so far

I'd like to see this race moved back to Vegas. Nicer track, better facilities and THEY pay their bills on the spot. All of the other races payed at the track or within a few days. Makes a guy wonder if he wants to go back to Fontana. Not that $1500 is going to break me,but I need it more than they do.
BTW thanks for your effort Ron.

Thanks Mike - unfortunately we run very close to the vest - it does make a difference - Tracy know this sucks.

I have already asked Mike, JEGS and NHRA to see about moving it.

OK - progress?

Tracy called me this morning at 8a to respond to the message I left yesterday. I like Tracy - he is a good guy - he will call Florida tomorrow.(not sure why?)

The phone was breaking up so I did not get exactly what his response to my question of "I heard the checks got sent back to Fontana - did that happen?" even after I repeated my question.

Damn cell phones... perhaps the "the checks were sent back to Fontana" is miss information .. seemed unlikely since he mentioned them having correct addresses in Florida.

I assured him I was not the only one - Kayla, Ken, Mike and I are not alone in this - no one has received the track winnings money.

He seemed to agree that it should not take this long.

I do know I will get an update tomorrow morning.

Alright - maybe some closure - sort of

Tracy called me this morning to let me know he had called Daytona to see what was going on - they are going to call him back.

Mean while - Mike Rice sent me the following text

"Update on Sportsnats check. I was informed today that there was an issue in Daytona regarding the checks for this event. They are being cut today and are to arrive in Fontana by Wednesday to be mailed out"

So likely early next week with the holiday and all.

Best I could do.

At least the sportsnationals is being addressed. And the racers who ran the weekend before at the divisional? We've seen nothing yet.

Jim Meador reported on here he got his and I heard from Chuck Stubeck - he got his on the 25th - both from the divisional

I received the Comp Cams money as well. They need to move the race back to where its appropriately taken care of.
