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"

wtf

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

Didn't think of that


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.



HMMMM

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. Wink

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.
