We don't know the all the circumstances behind what took so long to bring this matter to a resolution. Personally, I've had some transactions take a while to resolve with NESBA, and Bob and I have patiently worked with each other get to the conclusion. I've been riding with NESBA for nearly a decade....which puts you maybe in Middle School when I started..and Bob, Dutch, Brian Johnson, Garth, and all the Directors now are all honest, fair and more than reasonable people.
Ryan said after 30 days, the credit card processor makes it hard to refund cash...so that's NOT 30 days after the event..that's 30 days after the transaction...If the OP registered even a month in advance, and NESBA starts processing the refund transactions a couple days after they get back to HQ and get settled to do the work, it may not go through, and then it gets complicated between the credit card processing company and the financial institution that issues the card, Federal Reserve and everything in between.
Credits are an internal transaction refund NESBA fully controls and can resolve very quickly. COMPLETELY different scenario.
You...on the other hand are not. Partly because you're trying to do something you're not equipped for in the areas of both finances and maturity.
Maturity because the rules are, for better or worse, a contract that we all understand and agree to when we become members. HOWEVER, your lack of financial preparation to have the resources (cash) necessary to register within the CLEARLY stated deadlines, causes you to incur the extra fee CLEARLY stated up front. So, you get on this forum and cry worse than my 10 month old hoping Bob or DJ will pacify you trying to pull "I'm a poor starving college kid" card like it's not a worthless joker in the deck.
Now you criticize NESBA's schedule and changes like you have the first DAMNED clue about running a business, when you cannot balance your own checkbook nor your priorities? PLEASE...Bob actually runs his own personal business AND stays involved/runs NESBA. And, right now ALL track day organizations are just trying to survive. STT's not the almighty armor plated, invincible track day wonder you believe it is, either. Monte had to bail while the bailing was good after the Bluegrass debacle...sold it to another gent while he still had a business to sell.
NESBA's events at Barber have dwindled year after year until we're down to 4 weekends now. Why? I BIG factor has been other events wanting that facility that bring in admission PAYING spectators. We don't. We help keep the lights on at Barber in between events that generate revenue..We cannot compete with that. STT/NESBA/etc just get "visitation rights" at Barber..not full custody.
People that can afford this luxury now are truly fortunate...IF you can afford to do this, let alone OWN a motorcycle while you go to school, late fees should be a drop in the bucket. And just like the members, NESBA's made some changes and leaned up..because maybe without those changes we don't have a NESBA.
But fear not..You're not the biggest douche to get on this forum...that title belongs to BlueNinja exclusively. At least you seem to be able to be a decent motorcycle rider..you don't cause the end to anyone else's day, and you don't spend the majority of your day ruining the freshly seeded grass around the track. Sorry, but you get the Silver Medal.
Seriously...when you get on this forum and make jackass and attacking statements and you get responses pointing out clearly your acting like an immature jackass, and NOT just from me...and the posts are all in almost perfect harmony...do you not get it? I think I count about 14 "Your a jackass" responses in this thread alone. I don't think I see any that say to me, "Team, you're absolutely right! Bob Blandford..you're just WRONG! I'm leaving NESBA!!!!!" See posts 12, 17, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39 and 43. If this were an election, and you were a Democrat
..you'd win by a landslide.
I feel bad for you both, too. One day you're going to come to the crossroads in your life when you FINALLY GET IT..and it's going to hit you bigger than the Japanese tsunami....and you're going to realize just how much you've embarrassed yourselves.
And my humble apologies to the OP for jacking this thread..I'm sure if you work patiently with Bob/NESBA, your issue will be resolved.
I will address these in the order they were presented...
Since I had the same exact problem as the op, I DO KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES. I was told my refund was accountings problem, this was by BOB.... Its good to know that the directors are NOW honest.
I graduated a year ago and now have a real job- plenty of money to throw at NESBA, if only the opportunity/trackdays were avaliable...
This one was good lol...I've had a check book since I was 16... Its basic math.
I guess STT just got alot more "visitation rights" this year
Why arn't the members...those that MAKE UP NESBA... Involved in the decision making process? Was I the only one bitching when the new rules were decided upon with out any members thoughts?
I guess you have just gotten used to getting F&$*ED in your old age, and your right I am young, so I still have some fire in me
Will you be at RA? I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet such an informative and knowing individual. I have many more questions that need to be adressed and I'm guessing that you have all the answers.
