Of course nobody is going to be turned away. There's a modest late fee for signing up at the track because it diverts resources from race preparation, so I would encourage everyone to sign-up before the event to save the trouble and the late fee.
FYI, if you sign up through the ROAR website, completely the payment by clicking on the PAYPAL link from the ROAR website. Then the payment is immediately registered. If, however, you close out of the ROAR website and go direct to PayPal, it's not credited as quickly and it can cause some confusion about whether payment has been received or not.
Best of luck to everyone at the event.
Thanks Steve for the quick reply. Ron ___ . Not sure on last name so im unable to contact him without the last name :P The first quote of making it a four day weekend was geared towards this previous weekend when we had our warmup race. I know we dont plan on having an onroad type race thursday of Nationals.
I do know that AWD has sent out an email to roar about setting up and early morning open practice friday such as what we will see on saturday and sunday. I also know as of today he was still waiting on a reply (consistant issue). Since it is a 3 day event, i do recommend as a local that we have an open practice to start the traction before the "almost qualifying" practice begins. Just my opinion.
I am glad to hear that drivers can sign up before the event begins. As a fellow race organizer, I know the pain that late race entries can bring, but also know that the staff at Mikes will be very helpful at making sure everything is in good condition for when the Roar staff shows.
Bill, thanks for the rule. I know we are still looking for clarity on this ruling as we just learned about it this weekend from a racer that has been to a few nationals and saw the grey areas of it.
