Who uses The FOAT ticketing to enter/pay for a race event?
Our home track doesn't seem to be associated with them yet. I raced at Irwindale in May & they stated I could use the FOAT or pay at the gate. Tucson Dragway appears to promote them also for pre-entry. I'm not so sure if I like the process with an additional service fee.

I've used it once for pre entry and I didn't like it either. The event promoter was very adamant about the use and said that gate entry wouldn't be accepted for tech cards. Then I showed up with proof of purchase and the guys at the gate were like "dude you could've just bought it here"

Topeka has used it for a couple years. I guess I don't recall any difference between that or any other process for online entry.

Sorry paid at the gate or use Foat, your still saving cash by going online to pre-enter . Promoter also said it saves time at the gate. The track not the promoter charges 4% if you use credit card at the gate. I always use cash! Hope this helps! Nick
HAVE THEY CALLED US YET ? THEY HAVE!!!

I never heard of FOAT. I race all over the East and have never had my check refused and if they did I don't think they would turn away cash.

Foat charges more for entry than paying at the gate? I'm a cash kind of guy....and I've been having a little run of bad luck this year....I may not make it all the way to Tucson....Would hate to lose a pre-entry....

Early Pre-entry through the FOAT is still cheaper than the gate entry. I'll wait until it gets closer to the deadline for pre-entry.

All I can say about this is that Jim Hughes and Tucson Dragway is a great operation. In any endeavor there’s room for improvement. I’m not here for any reason but to explain questions about what I might know. Sorry if you guys would rather not race over this but you’ll be missing a good time.

I think you misconstrued our conversation. I'm planning to pre-enter using the FOAT & imakehp is planning to pay cash if he's lucky to make it.
As for Fern, Lenny or Nim. We could do a hat draw for me paying one of their entries into the race with cash.
2BKING loves to race!

I have no issues with Tucson, FOAT, or the New Year's Race....I was just asking questions and adding a little personal info about my recent racing state of life...

No problem!
Hoping my junk works good enough at Thanksgiving to give me enough incentive to haul down to Tucson.

that was my experience. I want to pay in cash and be paid in cash.
