Herbold Racing!

I finally got my competition number!  It is H786.

The reason it took so long was because they finally sent me back a letter saying that I didn’t put down the right amount for the fee for the competition number.  WTH?!  They also sent me back the form I filled out.  I took a look – it said clearly $40 for the competition number.  Then I look at the letter – they are saying it is $80.  Confused, I decide to do a little research.  It turns out that NHRA just recently doubled their fees for the competition number.  What really sucks is that I sent in my application long before they announced the new fee change.  So basically they just sat on my application, announced the change, and then forced me to pay double.  That’s just simply evil.  When I sent in an updated application with $80 instead, it took them less than 2 days to give me a competition number.

Nice going, NHRA.  (National Hairy Rats Association)
