Indy Brickyard Invitational Reunion Race question...
For all of those who raced this event, did any of you get the $100 race fee returned to you? I ask because I didn't and when I asked about it the response was that Tony personally gave checks out at the podium. It was implied in an email chain with them that it is now a credit for future events.
In my case I also overpaid for the weekend, and am trying to get a resolution on that as well. When I registered many months ago, I read the fees as
1) Sprint Race Weekend (standard race fee)
2) Formula Ford Reunion Race (feature race on Sunday - additional to the weekend rate)
3) Wednesday Practice Day (extra fee)
The website wasn't as clear as it could have been and I incorrectly thought that the single Sunday race was a special event on its own and the fee would be returned upon taking the 'green' in that race. I met up with Tony at the event who let me know I overpaid and that the race weekend for a Formula Ford driver should have only been $100 + the practice day, and that the $100 would be refunded to all who race on Sunday. He said to contact them later and get the Sprint Race overcharge returned.
Well, I have gone around a few times with SVRA and it appears that the mistake I made on the registration will not be refunded to my Visa, but will be 'credited to my account for future race events' because it has been too long. I have to say that I'm not too impressed with that response, and another driver I went out with had his registration corrected immediately upon submitting it.
SVRA doesn't have many events that are local to me, and the only one is Portland next July and it doesn't cost anywhere near what the Indy event credit is. I have also looked at my account online and I don't see any place in my account that indicates credits, so I have no confirmation that I in fact have a credit or when this credit expires...
Don't get me wrong, I really had a great time and the SVRA people know how to treat the drivers at the event. I do want to thank Tony for his work at getting the costs down and is very easy to talk with. The original fees I paid I thought were in line as to how much I should have expected to pay, I would like to get the funds back now that I know I overpaid so I can use them towards the local events this season.
I'm trying to get some additional info from other racers before I talk to them again so,
did anyone get a Reunion Race refund?
Did you overpay like I did? If so, did you get it solved?
