Have they still not opened up the online registration?

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Oh its open now and they get $37.00 service fee for each car entered for the double header

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

thanks can You provide a link for all to go to

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

$37.00?, man they shooting low, why not $59, or $63.86....the hits they keep a'comming

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

so I run super gas and super comp so that's $74.00 in service charges and you have to enter online they won't take your money at the gate. I checked.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Yes, they can't take cash at the gate but they will take it at the concession stand.

Don’t give em any ideas!

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

I just checked my receipt for the Bowling Green divisional race. They charged $8.43 fee in addition to the entry fee. So, what is the reasoning for the $37.00 fee? Who is charging this extra fee? How can we enter without going this route? I know NHRA is hurting financially right now, but c'mon man, this is outragious.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Well, I just went to also pay for the test day on Wednesday, and there is a $10.25 additional fee for entering that! Again, in addition to the entry fee! NHRA sure is about to loose some revenue from the sportsman ranks. We start refusing to pay these ridiculous prices, stop attending these events, and that organization will collapse REAL fast.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

I'm feeling better and better about my decision to just go junior and bracket racing this season.

I do miss the style of racing. My dragster is still winterized from last year.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

The only way to explain this is price gouging. And NHRA is forcing you to enter over the Internet, not providing any other way to enter, therefore they know they have you, so they will just charge whatever they want in service fees because its the only way to enter. Price gouging is a legal the last I knew.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

It is my understanding that the "fee" for these things is based on the ticketing website the specific venue uses. Bowling Green and Columbus happened to use the same site...but Topeka used a different site. Each site has their own fees that have nothing to do with NHRA and that money doesn't go to NHRA.

That said...$37 seems really high. I cannot find the links to sign up for STL anywhere...so perhaps they noticed an issue and shut down the links to fix it. Hopefully, if that's the case, the issue was with the amount the site was charging.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

we can't find it either. $37.50 X2 = broken camel's back.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

NMCA is having a race at INDY the same weekend. Looks much better to me.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Sorry St Louis, MJ doesn’t PAY ridiculous service charge fees...

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Maple Grove is looking pretty good right now!

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Terry Indy sounds way better and I heard track prep is always great. What the old saying “penny wise and dollar foolish”

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

The fees are charged by a third party, not NHRA, not WWTR. They’re trying to find a solution but if it doesn’t improve, just think...fuel prices are down this year...suck it up and go race and maybe things go back to normal next year.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

I put the link up but it's not going through right now. may be they are rethinkng the $37.00 charge per car. I hope so.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

See ya there

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Can anyone provide a link to sign up?

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

So what does this mean to the people that already paid their entry on 9/16/20 when the sight was up? Will they get a refund? I know at least one person that paid over $500 for one car and one crew for this divisional race at St. Louis. This is what it normally costs for a National event! And they did NOT enter the test and tune. Crazy!

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Sully3358 I for one will not "suck it up" or bend over. I do hope the track does get this fixed.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

What is crazy about the whole pay on line only deal is that you can go there for the weekly bracket race, pay at the gate, get your tech card, fill it out and take it to the tech trailer and race!!! Wife just said it is posted on the Div. 3 facebook site you can pay at the gate, but there is a processing fee the same as the on line. Hopefully it is lowered.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Now they have changed their site for entering the race and lowered the FEE, and said they will sell tickets at the gate. I guess many people complained and they actually did something about it. Thanks NHRA for listening to us racers.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

For me Personally I really do not mind the fee , as I am a capitalist pig as well as a Pit snob ,with the amount of money I have spend Drag racing in the whole scheme of things the fee is insignificant I will be there to let go of the Button and then go to Lunch ,by the way to enjoy the leave on the killer starting line LOL at me

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

On th Division 3 site, it says you need to download Pit Pay. I did that but it is still not letting you enter yet. I just wanted to see what the fee was. It said it was a lot lower, but I couldn't get it to come up to enter yet. Maybe later today it will be ready.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

It’s fixed but there’s still a fee. Just curious what your threshold is for an acceptable service fee before it starts eating into your massive profit margin from NHRA racing.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

They make you scan a picture of your drivers license to sign up for Pit Pay.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

I’ve done all that they say to do and cannot find the event at WWT???

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Track personal just told me it will be open up later on today on pit pay.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

So we can pay at the gate? What about the online tech card? Thanks

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

If the fee has an aroma it's too much. I guess I'm just an old romantic, if I'm getting screwed I liked to be kissed. That's me I could be wrong!

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Just spoke to a very nice lady at the track. Racers will be able to pay at the gate and receive a tech card there to fill out. Hope this helps any questions or reservations about going.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Haha just give us a picture of your license. NO THANK YOU! You might as well give them a picture of your social security card! I'll pay at the gate thank you. It also says the service fee will still apply if you pay at the gate. OK, so answer me this, why are they still charging a service fee if we pay at the gate? If we are not using the internet service to pay for our entry, why do we have to pay the service fee? Isn't the service fee charged for using the internet processing company? Is it just me, or does this not make any sense to any one else?

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

''The fees are charged by a third party, not NHRA, not WWTR'' Is this still true when paying at the gate?

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

You still going to protest this race over a $5 per race fee or will you be in line on Sunday complaining about not being able to get in the gate until Tuesday?

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Touche'. A well-placed serve with good pace.

Re: St. Louis LODRS
 

Larry and Patsy Are very good people and always looking after a racer interest. by the way
