Dan H. How long does it take to get checks from the Hot Rod Reunion?

Dan how long does it usually take to get the checks from the Hot Rod Reunion? I went in the tower and they said they would mail them. Called the museum a week later and they said the checks would come from NHRA. I'm guessing it will take 6 months.

Usually about 2 to 3 months Mike.Kind of a pisser,the NHRA Tshirt place wouldn't give me my 10% membership discount because they said NHRA has nothing to do with the HRR. But ,you got to wait on NHRA to pay you??? Oh well,I love the race!! Hope to see you there next year!!

That's why I have no use for the nhra. Just like the government . Always trying to tell you what to do while they've  got their  hand in your pocket and when it's your money then it's drag their feet. Useless.

I was talking to some guys at the track this weekend that run Super Street at NHRA divisional meets.  They said they get their checks the same day.  There shouldn't be any reason they couldn't pay out at the race just like every other race I've ever gone to.  Oh well just a little frustrating not even knowing how much I won.  The race was a lot of fun and I plan to be back every year.  Next year maybe I'll make them wait 2 months for my entry fee.

I agree Wes,I think the NHRA IS ran by the Government.

Mike Like I said, if you owe them you better have it there but if they owe you, you will get it when they're ready.  It's all about money. Just like all this Sfi stuff. A little common sense would go a long way. If they have an intelligent tech guy you don't need all that crap to tell if there is a problem.If seat belts look like they are frayed and wore tell them to replace them, but if you race a few times a year and they're kept dry and out of the sun they will look like new when they're several years old. You can't tell me they need replaced. Or tell me I'm going to pull my bell housing off and re cert it. I've seen far more oildowns at nhra places like gateway than ever at the outlaw tracks. Sorry to rant, but their crap gets under my skin.

They are too busy counting all the money they took in at Beech Bend to send you guys a check

Longer they can hold on to it the more interest they can draw off of it.

Thats the problem with alot of the sanctioning bodies.... they are all about money, not the sport they are sanctioning. They forget who and what its really about and its a damn shame.

Just received my check today. A whopping $100.00 for quarter finals. Better than nothing I guess. I had a lot of fun.

That's not too long of a wait Mike,i figured it would take longer. 

Yeah I was kind of surprised to see it show up today.  Maybe they saw me complaining on here and sent it.  

It ain't too bad if you know you have to wait. I really don't care ,it's like money in the bank. I love this race and won't ever miss it as long as I can possibly make it. It's my favorite week of the year !! See ya there next year!!
