NOR-CAL drift event at sears point 50 dollars

[NZO]

Very . I guess I will have to put my evasion skills to the test.

[knghtryde]

So it's really costing $85 dollars... I knew they'd skrew you guys some how... LoLz... J/K

[MikeDeuce]

Don't forget the $10 entry fee per person... $95 now

I'm waiting for a $5 bathroom entry fee, just to arrive at a nice square $100.

Not that I'm complaining, I wanted a GRM subscription anyway... and it's a local event at least.

[CleanS14]

Ok man... this isn't so cool... nobody said membership was required... how GHEY!!! They didn't advise us of this... and who gives a fock about Grassroots Motorsports magazine... I really don't... shit maybe if it was Playboy or something... I never got that email

[CleanS14]

I will be seriously pissed if they enforce that stupid ass membership thing... I could have went to Buttonwillow instead...

[rewplayff]

when do they charge us for membership. at the door? i just signed up and i only paid the 49 bucks? reminds me of cell phones and bank statements where they don't tell you you're about to pay double what you thought. i guess thats the american way

[Heartwork]

hey now, i never got an "email"

If this membershit thing is required.....I might have second thoughts about going and getting my money back. WTF is Grassroots Motorsports anyways? Thats pretty retarted since many people will only be attending one or their events or very few. If this is the case, Buttonwillow would have been the better choice here. Even the meet that club4ag is putting on that day...ARGH!

[ootranceformeroo]

I sent them an email regaurding peoples complaints. I think on the sign up sheet, they should have had a note or something before even signing up. (i.e. you cant sign up unless you have one). I hope that they dont enforce this just for this event and for future events let people know ahead of time.

[mistaanime]

heh...i dunno..I guess I no go..mite as well go to work..oh wellz..*sighs*

[steedsta]

sorry about the whole 30 dollar difference, but i stil think its worth it for it being in nor-cal!!! im pumped

My response to the NASA 411 email:

I am concerned about this LAST MINUTE membership required fee. This was not mentioned in the registration process or details of the event. I feel that the participants without membership should not be held accountable for this fee unless they are willing to pay and would like to become a NASA member. The $20 subscription to the mag does not appeal to me and other members for the 240 community that have registered.

I also would like to express some concern because there is a lack of details about the event. What will be available to drivers (course/skid pad/jturns)... please let us know because we are entitled to the information and would like to know. There were other events going on this weekend that we could have attended, but chose this event because it seemed like a good deal. For $100 my friends and I could have attended and event at Buttonwillow with only 30 or so drivers and the entire track including skidpad etc.

This last minute membership fee is not fair and should not be enforced because we were not notified of this at all at the time of registration. I will not pay this membership fee because I do not want to be a NASA member and I was not notified. If this is a problem let me know and I will gladly accept a refund. I have read your cancellation policy, but in this case... since you DID NOT notify the parties participating in the event of these amendments ahead of time (give them more than a week notice) your policy cannot be enforced legally. So I will expect a full refund of the $50 registration fee.

Consider this $50 (reg fee) + $10 (entrance fee/ea person) + $35 (membership fee) = $95 //and we don't get to run on the track at all!!! and we were not notified of the membership requirement.

Concerned/Confused/Frustrated participant... I thank you for your time and look forward to your prompt response.

We'll see what Jerry K(NASA) has to say...

[s14xman]

^^ wow that sounds perfesional. well written, we will have to see what they say.

[CleanS14]

NASA response:

I am confused by your message. I will gladly refund your money but I am not sure that you understand. NO ONE is allowed to do this without being a member of NASA. Didn’t you sign up online? It won’t let you sign up unless you’re a member.

Let me know what you want to do. Sorry about your confusion. If you still want to do it, I will go into more details

[CleanS14]

I had no trouble signing up eventhough I'm not a NASA member... does this mean I'm a NASA member now???

[knghtryde]

This entire event is bull. It really is just a way to be able to get more members for these guys... because they've already said you have to be a member... I'm pretty sure they are going to ask for some membership proof once you get there, and if you don't have it they are either going to keep your money unless you pay for membership...

[CleanS14]

I have already talked with my legal dept here at work and they cannot keep the registration fee. They void their cancellation policy because they did not fairly give notice of the membership requirement in accordance to their time line in the mentioned policy. So anyone who has registered for the event can request a full refund if they try to enforce the membership requirement and try to keep your reg fee.
