The pre-entry deadline is Thursday, July 3rd.

That doesn't mean that it has to be post marked by that day, but that your pre-entry must be in the AHRMA office on or before that day. All of the Mid-Ohio events must be pre-entered, except for the Trials.

Here's a link to the information on the AHRMA website:

So...

Each class is broken down into Nov/Int/Exp, there is a space on the form to the right side of each class line for what your skill level is.

Just read in the June issue of Vintage Views that the CC race is 65 riders per race: vintage, post-vintage, novice.  Does that mean 65 TOTAL, or 65 per class?

Jerry,
I'd like to see a list of riders ASAP to be sure I'm in the PV INT race. I contacted Cindy a few days ago via email but her form letter reply did not tell me anything other than confirmation letters were being sent this week. I sent my entry on 6-4-08 which should have been plenty early. I just can't understand why it would take so long to get some sort of response. Any suggestions ??

hi dave, i called her yesterday about some other matters and slipped one in about speedy's entry. hopefully your entry is in there, but they got hit with over 100 new member applications in addition to the race entries. i have not always been the most understanding of some of the "ways of ahrma" but on this one, i can sympathize a little. give it a couple of days for a reply via us mail. from personal experience, a lot of times cindy isn't too quick on the draw with emails. how did you send in your entry, via fax? chi jer

Jerry,
Thanks for the reply. My entry went in via US postal mail on 6-4-08. I know they had to receive it because my membership application was in the same envelope and my credit card was charged the membership fee of $45 on 6-13-08. As of my last credit card statement, the $40 entry fee had not yet been charged to my account and thus my reason for wanting to know what's going on. Makes me think I may not have gotten in ??? I'll give it a another day or so but would appreciate a heads up if you find out anything. Thanks again !!
