IHRA Mooresville Reschedule idea

Angela,.

I am pretty certain they said over the PA at Mooresville that crew arm bands/tickets would not be honored at a reschedule. Only the car/driver. :-(

Its just plain bad for everyone involved when a race is rained out, and unfortunately, that is always going to be a factor around our "hobby". It costs the track alot too since they have to pay all of IHRA's expenses plus the purses. I guess they will have to pay for IHRA staff to come back too.

It was a 700 mile round trip for me. I don't think I am coming back to Mooresville for the reschedule. It took me 8 hours to get home yesterday after setting through two hour long construction delays on I-77 north. I'd probably been alright if I had taken US21, but this being my first trip out this year, I didn't have a map in the truck. shame on me.

As much as I hate to do it, I'll probably just change my entry to Pittsburgh or Quaker City and spend $50 more.

That's pretty crappy in my book that they're not honoring my arm band - they did at the Milan National Event that was rained out last year. I paid $35 and didn't get to see any racing, didn't get to see anything on Sunday - they ought to only charge me half at the next event. $35 for a crew entry for the weekend is a little too much in my opinion as it is.

Was that an IHRA decision or a Mooresville decision? Chris - I got your PM I'll pm you back

Angela, Call the office at Mooresville. I'll bet if you kept your armband they will probably work something out for you. They are GREAT people.

I will call them - never hurts to ask. We used to race there a lot and that was never their policy, if I kept my stub they let me back in for a rescheduled rain out.

Ok - check it out - I called Jody and left him a message and he called me back but it went straight to voice mail - he left me a message thinking I was Don Plemmons - which you all know I'm much better looking - anyhoo - the message was telling Don he's going to change the date and didn't realize he had rescheduled this on top of his big race.

So I call Jody back and tell him that he left me Don's message - and I just wanted to know about my arm band - he told me to save it and just write the date on it and it will serve as my rain check for the rescheduled event. He also told me he is calling Satch to try and get this April date changed to another date due to the other races going on during that weekend and not wanting to interfer with them. So I guess we'll find out.

My other question was will the qualifying we did on Saturday stand or will we qualify again?
