YOU'RE IN! Sears Pointless at Hooptie-Con

Hi, Muddy: 

Half-Life Racing (Seize-Z-ium and Ra-D-um) has been officially ACCEPTED for Sears Pointless at Hooptie-Con at Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma CA on March 24 - March 25. (Multiple entries? Log in to see what got in and what didn't.)
If you're racing, you must read this email completely!
1) FINISH YOUR INFO: Your team's current status is Not Ready to Race. If you're not showing "ready to race," log on here and fix what's missing. (In case you need it, here's a step-by-step guide to the regprocess.) 
 
2) PRINT A TECH SHEET and inspect your car against every line. Bring your signed, filled-out Tech Sheet to Tech at the track, and remember--not every rule is reflected on the Tech Sheet. You still need to study the full Lemons Rulebook.
 
3) READ THESE NOTICES:
FIRST TIME WITH LEMONS? There's a mandatory Rookie Meeting after tech closes on Friday. Unless a Lemons official tells you otherwise, show up at the tech area 15 minutes past closing. 
DON'T HURT THE FACILITY: If you destroy their Armco, break their tow rig, dissolve their pavement with gas spills, etc, the track may charge you. So, don't do that.
EVENT SCHEDULE, CAMPING, DIRECTIONS, ETC: Look for these on this race's Event Page--when we learn something new, we'll update it there.

DRIVER-SAFETY GEAR: To see helmets, suits, head-and-neck units, and all the other required crap at sponsor-subsidized rates, visit Lemons' online store.

RACE #s: If the number you want isn't available on your Team Home Page's pulldown menu, somebody else already has it. Pick another one.

RULESThe Lemons Rulebook has been updated! Read the complete Rulebook (http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/prices-rules) now and re-check it often, refreshing your browser each time.Remember, it's your job to know this stuff!
DROPOUTSThere are no refunds or fee transfers! When you enter a race, you're buying the right to compete--not a guarantee that you'll get your own act together. If you drop out, can't finish your car, blow up, go broke, catch swine flu, step on your own wiener, or otherwise fail to avail yourself of your grid spot, you forfeit your entry fees. That's why they're called "entry" fees, not "I got to drive the whole race" fees.
 
4) COUGH UP YOUR ENTRY FEE: Your entry fees are due now--your spot is not guaranteed until your team fees are paid. All fees must be paid in full by 02/10/2018. Miss that deadline, and your spot may be given to a team on the waitlist. (Need to beg an extension? Drop Nick an email before the due date.) To check your current balance or pay online, see your Team Home Page at https://registration.24hoursoflemons.com/members/races/registration/signup_id/21922.
TO PAY BY CREDIT CARD, use the "Pay Now" button on your Team Home Page at https://registration.24hoursoflemons.com/members/races/registration/signup_id/21922.
TO PAY BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER, make payable to "24 Hours of Lemons" and mail to Lemons Dept. of Up-Coughing, 5675-C Horton St, Emeryville CA 94608.
