Matt, so if we do not show, we get a transfer atuomatically and probably we should email Bob Lang on Monday to let him know to look out for us? Sorry to be a simpleton but I hate to lose $ on this.

Thanks Kent (and Matt)

Joe,

Last year we (me and dad) did nothing and both got transfers without issue. I suspect they compared the entry list to the tech cards to figure it out, but I don't know.

You could confirm with the Div. office next week. I waited a week or two and did a run through on the online entry system to enter a race and when it came time for payment my credit was there. I think that is about the only way you can confirm it in their event registration system.

I'm wondering how to get back my $10 for the child ticket (others may have more expensive crew tickets they purchased) that I won't be using, but, I figure, I bothered Kent enough today to ask about that.

-Matt

Mr. Worner,

Atco is possible with no huge event but Englishtown will not give up their big import weekend.

Have been receiving the same e-mails. At least we have Kent trying to make things easier on the racer. Thanks Kent!!

Rumors. The bad thing about all of us sitting around is that it gives us too much time to come up with this s@#$. I can only imagine (and it's been my experience with them) that NHRA has no idea yet as to what to do. They're really just a bunch of optimists and hoping for the best. This is just a wait and see.

Another rumor, all racers and crew members will be refunded a day's worth of crew pass cost, $21.25 for no racing on Thursday. Maybe with a little luck we can get 1/4 of our entry fee back.. but that might be getting a little greedy.

That would definitely be a false rumor!!! NHRA NEVER, and I repeat.....NEVER gives you money back!

Let's move the sportsman to Numidia!!!

Wait Bryan so you are telling me our sanctioning body
Never Has Refunded Anything?

I think it is a little hasty to cancel tomorrow, we could get parked, teched, and everyone get one session in tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Maybe start teching cars at VF outlet to save time?

OK - So we've sitting around for hours and told every story we can remember - what to do now ? Some folks - myself included went shopping - not many people in the stores and many bargains - why not take advantage ? Some however were buying questionable items - you decide which .What goes on in motorhomes ......well you get the rest .

The Sun has been in and out many,many times today but not much rain - and thats' all the good news I have to report .All kinds of rumors coming back from the track - but until I confirm them they will stay secret .We all should stay away from that sort of thing as nothing good can come out of it . Ever .........

PS- If you're ever going to pose for a picture for me be sure of your surroundings .But compared to Toby I'm harmless .............

Think Toby will be arm-less when Mark and Brad swing (no pun, honest guys) back out west....retribution will be a righteous thing indeed, LOL.

Forget having the carshow Oct 8th just unload all the trailers now and cruise around the parking lot! It really is ashame that this race has put such a bad taste in sportsman racers mouths. This used to be one of the events I couldn't wait to get to, now I haven't been there in over 4 years and don't see myself entering anytime soon!

Hope to see everyone on Friday as I'm playing hooky from work to maybe come watch 1st round, if not I'll see some of you at Numidia next weekend for the .90 race
