I want to make sure that everyone fully understand that if you prepaid for the event by giving your donation to the event which was to cover your gate fees, and single guest pass.
If you show up you get to play.. if you dont show up... you have essentially forfeited your payment.
Its like buying a concert ticket... paying $200 for a seat.. then deciding 4 days before going that you no longer can go... the place that sold you the tickets is not going to refund your money.... or if you donate to your favorite charity... do they give your money back to you after you have given it... nope.... this is the same deal.
The entire payment as mentioned in post #316
http://www.vtcoa.com/forums/showpost...&postcount=316
is NOT REFUNDANDABLE.
The entire purpose of the donation process was because we were having troubles with sponsor $$, and had to go this route.
All payments made have been applied to the cost of the track rental, as we had to put a down payment on the track and event costs.
The purpose for this email was that today I received an PM from a member asking for him and another person to be removed, and for their money back... I denied him.
I am not being an ass...... was there a mis-communication somewhere that implied that you could get your money back....
I really hope to these two guys show up and make use of the money they paid... but as of right now unless someone comes up with a really good reason for getting their money back... it aint goona happen....
Believe me... this money aint goin in my pocket... or the clubs.. were goona be stretching it just covering the cost of the track at the event with the spectators, and racers who are paying their normal fees.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ - TRACK RULES!!!!!!!
The following information will get 99% of cars through Tech Inspection,
but there are always some things we can’t foresee. The purpose of Tech Inspection is to ensure your safety and the safety of spectators and race crew. Therefore, the Race Director’s decisions on Tech Inspection matters are FINAL.... no exceptions.
1. Seat belts are required (even if your car is so old it didn’t come with belts) and must be securely/properly mounted. Seat belts must be worn when racing.
2. All windows must be present and in good condition (free of cracks). Cars must run with all windows up, sunroofs and T-tops closed. Convertibles must run with the top up.
3. All automatic transmissions must have a functional neutral safety switch. Vehicle may only crank in Park or Neutral. (Note: an ignition kill switch is not enough. The starter must not function when the transmission is in gear.)
4. Doors handles must be functional, inside & out. “Shaved†door handles not permitted unless there is an obvious mechanical means for our safety crew to open the driver and front passenger doors from the outside.
5. Battery cannot be located in driver/passenger compartment (unless meeting all NHRA rules and requirements, consult the NHRA Rulebook or our Tech Crew) and the battery must be securely mounted. No bungee cords, fabric straps, wire, rope, Ty-Wraps, leather belts, etc., are acceptable in place of a proper mechanical battery hold-down.
6. Vehicles with batteries that are relocated from the stock location must have an external master cutoff switch on the outside rearmost portion of the vehicle. This switch must kill ALL electrical functions including the engine. The OFF position of this switch must be labeled for our safety crew. (There are additional requirements for relocated batteries. Please, before you relocate your battery, see our Tech Crew or the NHRA Rulebook for guidance.)
7. Cooling system must have an overflow catch bottle. If your coolant-recovery system is not factory-stock, then the catch bottle must be 16 ounces capacity, minimum.
8. Tires must be in good condition, with at least 1/16 inch of visible tread remaining and no cord showing. Slicks must have visible wear indicators showing.
9. Carburetor must be covered. If your vehicle has no hood, mechanical fan must be removed but electric fans are OK.
10. Helmets: Drivers of all vehicles running 13.99 or quicker, and ALL convertibles regardless of E.T., must wear an SFI-approved helmet with a Snell rating of 2000 or newer. Passengers in convertibles running 14.00 and slower must also wear an approved helmet. (Note: DOT-only helmets are not permitted. SFI-approved helmets are not permitted if the Snell label inside the helmet is missing or illegible. In other words, a Snell-rating on the outside of the helmet is not good enough.)
11. All vehicles must have at least one working taillight, which must be ON for night racing and visible to the Starter from the turn-out at the far end of the track.
12. All hubcaps and trim rings must be removed, unless bolted on. If bolted on, the Tech Crew will ask you to remove one or more caps so wheel stud length may be checked. All wheel studs (not just on the drive wheels) must extend into the hex portion of the lug nut a distance equal to the diameter of the stud.
13. If your rear-wheel-drive vehicle is equipped with slicks and capable of running quicker than 13.00 in the quarter-mile, a driveshaft loop is required. Consult with our Tech Inspectors for specifics.
14. If your vehicle is capable of running quicker than 11.50 in the quarter-mile, please consult with our Tech Inspectors for additional safety equipment requirements.
15. No vehicle may be in motion with the hood up, whether under power or being pushed or towed. Please lower your hood for visibility when moving your vehicle.
The following are additional requirements for motorcycles:
1. Rider must wear a full-face SFI-approved helmet with a Snell rating of 2000 or newer.
2. Rider must wear a leather jacket. (NHRA, as yet, has not approved ballistic-material jackets. Please, wear leather. Also, suede is not acceptable as a “leather†jacket; it doesn’t have the strength to prevent “road rashâ€.) Riders of bikes capable of running faster than 120 mph in the quarter must wear full leathers; two-piece leathers must fasten together at the waist.
3. Rider must wear full finger leather gloves with no holes.
4. Rider must wear leather shoes/boots that reach above the ankle.
5. Vehicle must have a chain guard extending at least to the centerline of the rear axle. Shaft-drive excepted, of course.
6. Vehicle must have a working taillight visible to the Starter from the turn-out at the far end of the track.
7. Throttle must be spring-return type. Throttle must snap closed when released.
8. Bikes capable of running 10.99 or quicker in the quarter mile must be equipped with a positive ignition cutoff switch (in the low-voltage side of the ignition system) attached to the rider with a lanyard. Cutoff switch will be function-tested during Tech Inspection.
9. Nitrous oxide allowed if bottle is DOT-1800 rated and securely mounted. See
NHRA Rulebook or our Tech Inspectors.
10. Operational two-wheel brakes are mandatory. No “dirt bikes†with rear-wheel brake only.
11. No three-wheelers of any kind. Check with our Tech Crew for rules on 4-wheel ATV’s.
For further information, come to the track and talk with our Tech Inspectors. They are here to help you safely enjoy the sport of drag racing.

Some notes:
I will have my 2008 NHRA RULE BOOK with me for that that want to look up to make sure they are safe to run... or want clarification.
I will be going out the track after dinner on Saturday night with my RV Fifth wheel.
It will be setup as a staging place, and "host" spot where VTCOA members can come and hang out at.
I will be staying the night there on Saturday night so that I can get up first thing Sunday morning and freeze my ass off getting the track and show and shine setup...
I will be looking for some helpers... the RV sleeps 5 comfortably.
I will need someone to bring me back to my house so I can pick up the viper truck... I only live about 6-7 miles from the track.

I still don't have a clue where anybody is going to be, other than that hotel in Goodyear. I will be all over the valley all weekend long, and really do want to spend at least a little time with both old friends and new.
If I show up at the hotel on Saturday afternoon am I going to find you guys there?
