Tracy, I'm sorry your upset. Whenever a divisional is rained out and has to be rescheduled it sucks for everybody. It's important that we remember that this is a Mooresville Dragway deal as much as an IHRA deal. Whenever you have this many quality tracks in a geographical area it is a tough deal. If they were to make Farmington a double weekend, then Mooresville looses the money from that race. Again, I know it sucks but this could be a possibility.....run the 50 grand on Friday and Saturday, come to Mooresville on Saturday night and enter the bracket race to get some time on the track...then just win the race on Sunday and all will be well...see you soon.

Hey Marc, I'm not upset, just offering suggestions to try and save the racers on the average of $250-$300 in fuel and another weekend away from home. The double weekend seems to be working for other divisions and it would be nice for us to have a "financial break" every now and then. Maybe Herb from Piedmont or Bobby from Kinston could work out a deal w/ the Mooresville folks for them to come in and work the Piedmont race for either Saturday or Sunday as a make up. Just throwing around ideas.

What are they doing about the spectator entry fees? I saved my arm band, is this my rain check to get in again in April? I certainly hope I won't be expected to pay another $35

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.
