thanks for the info ,my buddy and I submitted at the same time ,and he got a call yesterday ,just wondering if maybe my registration didn't go through ,or maybe they are picking out certain cars .Do you have any buddys that registered around the same time as you ,and didn't get a call back??

there is one guy I think he reg way before I was able to & so far didnt get a call back & his car is proven to be faster than mine.
The guidelines were just as long as you can run under 12.99 and faster. There was such a mass of people trying to get in that it would not surprise me that some didn't make it in while others that went on l8ter did.

Yea someone said that Pinks all out guys wanted 11.49 (said they got an email from them two weeks ago, Dont know if I beleive that I think they are just mad at me for making it in with a car thats not finished) but the track said 12.99 Oh well I dont know.
I also heard that they had 1400 cars sign up for this when there were only suppose to be 464 cars. Dont know what happen.
All I know is there is a couple guys higher in the numbers than I am.
by the sounds of it I may see the engine matched with the car in the next couple weeks & the engine prelubed & valves set as soon as this weekend.
The guy who did my engine is exited that he may get some advertising in.
This is over on bremerton raceways forum & this i from Ken PRs webmaster

Just an FYI, for those who are interested.....
In the first 5 minutes we (Pacific Raceways) had 369 registrations submitted for PINKS.
That's a little over 1 per second.
Our Internet provider's server connections went into overload at the 5 minute point and were immediately restarted (took 2 minutes). They told us they had about 10MB/sec traffic on our website alone at that point.
We received a total of 852 registrations at 7:26pm, at which time the registrations were cutoff (management decision).
NOTE: Pacific Raceways was only the 2nd track out of all of the tracks running PINKS All Out that was able to complete all registrations online without having everything come down completely. Other tracks were totally unable to process ANY registrations online, as their computer systems totally crashed within seconds. So, it could have been a LOT worse.
We're just waiting on a couple of racers to confirm their registrations and then we will be publishing a list of the 464 that made it into the event on our website.

My question:
ok totally confused here, I was told that my number was 541,& my money did get in? so does that mean that some of the people below me didnt get their payment? does it mean I am racing, if i dont make the cut does that mean my money comes back to me?
Forgive me if I am having a major blonde moment (I am not blonde but my husband & my daughter are starting to effect me lol)

Some of the people submitted several registration applications (meaning they kept hitting the "Submit" button over and over and over). We had one person who had 23 submittals (that was a bit ridiculous).
So, as each registration was submitted (including the duplicates) the index number kept increasing by 1.
So if a person's 1st submittal was number 20, and then they hit the "Submit" button 20 times in a row quickly (as some people did), they would be occupying numbers 20 through 39. So the next person would get number 40. Does this now make sense as to why the registration numbers are larger than 464?
We had to weed out all of the duplicates. There were also people who tried to be tricky by entering their names a little differently each time, even though they were the same person with the same car and the same phone numbers and the same address.
For instance we'd get an entry for "Bill Smith", then "William Smith", then "William H. Smith", and so on.
Well I think that answers why your number 541 lol!
I guess some people thought they were going to pull a fast one! haha
OH YEA, they insured me that I was indead racing
Brother in law is coming over to work on the engine tomorrow, hopfully we can get it ready to slide in.
Found out my rear end is a 9bolt & I need to upgrade went down to pick a part today & it was DRUM DRUM DRUM, 4th gen DRUM DRUM DRUM, 4th gen. Drum drum, no rear no rear
I don't think I know Larry. I plan on heading down to watch and cheer all the Thirdgens/Camaros/Firebirds on.
Larry is or was our club president a couple diff times, through out the years. lol.
