There is still no word as to the status of the race. As soon as I hear something I will let you know.

Matt - thanks for passing this on.............
If this is true - Kudos to Bob Lang and the D-1 Leadership. Is there anyway to confirm this?

Angelo, it is true, what I posted is the exact email Kent sent to every D1 racer on his mailing list. If you are not on his mailing list, email him at d1srac.kenthanley@gmail.com and ask him to add you to the list and he will also confirm. I've been annoying him all day by email and he is always quick to respond.

He also confirmed to me that racers who entered this racing using a transfer from last years race can withdraw and still receive a transfer and that "Bob said he would take care of it".

Not rumors, facts straight from our D1 Rep.

Thanks again Kent for your time and effort.

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.
