This is true. They will refund your money no questions asked. This started this year. Hasn't been a problem that I've heard of. Jim

Unfortunately, I have not been able to race any this year, so I don't have any first hand experience with the new ownership. In the past, some tracks have let us pay for one race at a time, however you did have to pay full weekend crew price at the gate.

Once you pay (if they make you pay for both races), they have your $$ and if the race is called for a rainout, you then have no choice but to come back, or redeem if for a certain % voucher at a pro-am race somewhere else.

Personally , in the age of computers and spreadsheets, I can't see how it is that hard to keep track of who has paid for 1 day, 2 days, etc.

personally I like NOT having to fill out 4 tech cards ( 2 cars for 2 days) I got refunded with a smile and a thank you for coming and an apology for my car breaking, I like the idea....just my .02 which wont buy nothing these days

And if you come in on Thursday and leave Monday the card could be Red, White and Blue! I think IHRA has it handled just fine. Easy for the gate person and less writing for the racer! Jim

No Mickey it needs to be red and white like the divers flag.... you know white flag with red in the middle meaning half day.

I mean really think about it your already there get it done but maybe have a second race for people who break to carry over kind of like the moroso 5 day get it done in 2 weeks and save the rest of the year for the Bahamas but still go to the national events less towing less money
