SO then I get an email yesterday from the registration company saying that they fucked up and are charging me another $5. I was given a discount that I am not eligable for. But I never asked for a discount and the web site said $35, I was charged $35 and my printed recipt is for $35. anyone else have this bullshit problem? I am calling lazlo to talk w/ him about this since it is bullshit that they charge you more after the fact.

Never know when you gonna slam your head into a berm at 42mph and have to miss a race. Then you get a DNF AND you lose your $$$.

That only works out when you have a season pass I save $10 when I pre register, that is beer for a night Re: anyone pre-register for races Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 7:49 pm bigbird Burner   Joined: Apr 1, 2003 Posts: 207 Location: Connecticut I always pre-reg. on line and it seemed odd when my total was less for the Oct. race than the rest of the year. I just thought that I was getting a discount. I got the email on the $5 too. Oh well. I had a blast anyway, no matter how much is cost. I don't think that Laz has any control over it. It is all Active.com's work. They probably just put the wrong price in and realized it afterwards. This won't stop me from pre-reg. I like the convienence. _________________ Sponsors http://www.marzocchi.com/spa/mtb/?LN=UK http://www.sun-ringle.com/front.html http://www.e13.com http://www.nemabrand.com/ http://www.odigrips.com/mtb_home.htm http://www.sixsixone.com/Products_SunlineCycling.aspx Re: anyone pre-register for races Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 8:01 pm boogenman Kingpin   Joined: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 2501 Location: Amherst, NY I know it isn't Lazlo's fault, but they told me to talk w/ him about it, I think he will be understanding. the reason they want me to talk w/ laz about it is so he will eat the loss, which I think is wrong. what pisses me off is that they made the mistake and they want me and you other guys that pre-regestered to pay for it. that is poor business practice. I am just going to have my bank refuse to pay it for the time being
