I read the entry for the RA race I attended earlier this year again. The cancellation date was the Wed before the event. Any cancellation after that would be charged $25 (refund amount would be $25 less than the entry).

I think that is a fair date for circumstances that are the choice of the entrant (something came up, family obligations, looks like rain (pussies), etc.). However, this gives no wiggle room for circumstances beyond the control of the entrant (trailer breaks on the way to the track, a dump truck runs over your tow vehicle on the way, etc.).

Judge for yourself. I still like the pre-register online, pay at the track when you arrive.
