who else on IT forums plans on attending this event?
im in...:026:

[joeg]

You bet!

I'm tentatively planning on it and I'm pretty sure Jim is also.

With the cancellation of the Bluegrass PDX, I am in.

Four of the 12 cars registered are ITC, plus Ryan and me make 6. Group 1, get home at decent hour. Sweet. It's even worth running with SM and ITB.

Ryan, you are missing your car's nickname an a snappy quote in your sig.

I'm waiting for it to come back from the paint shop so that I can make sure the nickname is appropriate...

you better be coming

I did register in ITC. For some reason I don't show up on the entry list, I have an email in to the registrar.

Which makes 5 cars in ITC. Ryan makes 6. Ahem.

My entry makes 8 in ITC, 20 for group 1. I had the same problems with Paypal, ended up writing a check.

If you go to paypal under your ACCOUNT under HISTORY you should see your original transaction and it will be in a state of "unclaimed". This indicates that the money has been deducted from you but not yet sent to NEO.

If the transaction is in a state of "unclaimed" you can click the Cancel button and the transaction will be cancelled. To register you will need to go back to DLB and register again and choose the Check option.

I wonder how many other entries are hanging out there? This could be ugly if 40 people show up on Friday thinking they are registered and the registrar has no record of them.

how many in ITA?

[ITA_honda]

Lets go people!!! get your entries in!!!:026:
I was at the NeOhio board meeting last night and there are only about 30 entries total. Not just in group one, all the groups.

haha. meaning there are 20 cars in the IT group (group 1).
4 entries so far in ITA.
if that sticks with 4 entries, that will be the smallest ITA field I will run in.

[jumbojimbo]

Did anyone at the meeting seem to understand that there are probably more entries out there that have not been completed successfully? That there are people who have attempted to enter using paypal, have a receipt from paypal and believe they have entered but the entry was not successful and NEO has no information about the entry?

I would hate to think that the event would be cancelled because the region mistakenly believed there were fewer entries than there actually are.

I would also hate to think that we are losing entries because people look at the entry and see fewer entries in their class than are they actually are. Fortunately that isn't happening in ITC but it could be happening right now in ITA.

Not to mention the giant hassle we are going to have if a bunch of people arrive at the track thinking they are registered when they are not. Not everyone will be understanding when you try to tell them you want $300 cash when they have already paid money to paypal that did not make it to NEO.

I let the Assistant RE (Debbie LaFond) know yesterday and she sent an email to the RE (Duane Harrington)
I havent heard anything from Duane Harrington yet, so im going to email him this morning. I will let you all know.

Just an idea but shouldn't 9 ITC cars qualify to have their own run group???? They could bump the one FM in with the other formula cars & let the C cars have at it without having to worry about faster cars ummmm.... cars in other classes, Yeah, thats what i mean cars in other classes lapping us. It could be our own little ITC Fest.

Have ITC's EVER run by themselves at a regional race??

there will be some changes in the grouping. Ill know for sure by tomorrow (wednesday). They're taking ITA out of group 1. so the ITC boys done have to worry about the faster ITA cars catching them at the end.
Group 2 will most likely be combined with group 6.
ill let you guys know.

The toilet is unclogged. One of the guys here who is just slightly smarter than me had the bright idea to contact DLB directly.

Issue: an incorrect email address was used for the paypal address. Since the paypal transactions weren't going thru, dlb wasn't getting notified of the payment so there were a bunch of entries sitting in a pending payment status.

Sounded like the region was going to contact those affected and have them bring a check and cancel the paypal transaction.

The good news is there were more entries that it appeared on the entry list a couple of days ago. I don't know if the current entry list now includes those affected. The entry list stands at 66. That might be everyone or there might still be some hiding. But at least it is a reasonable number.

The bad news is that there are now 9 ITA cars. So the ITC dominance is somewhat diminished. Let's hope there is another Renault hiding out there.

It's like watching A, but in slow motion.
