jayracer5 Started a new thread Robbed at the races?

Hello all. I've watched on Vital from time to time but have never joined until today. I need some help to figure out if I need to call in the men with the little white jackets to take me away because I feel like I just got robbed at the races. I have raced MX for almost longer than I...

I have received an offer of a refund from Sondra at CMC and that resolves it for me. Bash away to those that want, but the very simple fact is that's all that had to happen in the first place without me or anyone else having to chase down their $$.

After the "bad news" I did walk the pits and rechecked the sign up booth. The sign up booth was never opened that I could tell and I do not know the promoters, but I did not identify anyone that I thought was the boss or any more in charge than the guy that I had already dealt with.........so yeah...

Thanks rrjt. Was planning on riding the series except for the 2/22 race. Was going to take the little guy to race Arenacross. I wasn't' offered a rain check to get in any of the other 3 events coming up. Only the 2/22 race which I knew we couldn't make. Good point on the rain check at the store, but...

I should have created a new sentence. Rain check…..if it rains……..LOL! All the other stuff, eh, that's part of racing. Maybe you complain, maybe you don't…..

No I wouldn't. ",or it rained (now there is a reason for a "rain check")" But if it rained I would gladly accept a rain check no questions asked.

Wow, I wasn't quite expecting all this. I honestly did not think I would get anywhere with the promoter. Some people here have spoken highly of them and I will give them a chance based on the recommendation. I do not think anyones post should be "discounted" because they are a first time poster. Everyone had a first post at...

Thanks Guy. Maybe that sounded wrong. I was simply trying to say didn't feel like I should have to because I still feel/wish it would have been handled differently at the event. Just my opinion. I'm good with following up and hope to give a positive review out of the whole situation.

Thanks for the feedback and Yes!, It could have been handled privately. They could have handed me my $30 back and I would have been happy and likely gone to the next race. Why is it the customer's problem that they sent someone with a bad attitude, with the wrong message, to the people that showed up trying to support...

Thanks Evoracer, slipdog, Torco1 and 450grip. I'll check into it with them further even though I don't feel I should have to. As the "messenger" they sent, at least to my pit, represented to be in charge. But stuff happens, that's life.

I hear ya, long motos would have been awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Most days I agree $25 is a good deal, but for three riders it quickly gets to $75 for practice. I know I would've paid that much more, and then some to race, but that's what we went for, to race. And, from Starwest I could hit...
