Can't be transferred or sold. I can't go either and found that out.

I don't understand why the organizers will not allow them to transferred and/or sold. You would think it's an SB100 certificate or something

I found out that I couldn't go after I sent in my $330.00 either.
I asked if I could GIVE my spot to someone else. All I got from the idiot running this thing was the info from the website in red showing no refunds & such. After a few email exchanges with this guy it was evident he is not brightest bulb on the tree. I think I will dispute it with my credit card company for sport

Maybe he's one of those new "green" light bulbs.

Your correct Byron, I would think more the merrier?
RodKnock, I think your correct also, like the "green" light bulb it all sounds good until you have a problem. It's not the money, I waste more than that on stuff I don't need from CostCo 
How tough can it be to just change the name on the reservation?
Hotels do it everyday

I have nothing to do with the planning of WSCB, but calling any of the organizers “idiots” is not helpful. They volunteer their time. The event is very well attended, and consistently sells out. I suspect that the policy you refer to is there to prevent “scalping” of spots, and all the attendant unfairness.
As for the “idiot,” the policy is clearly stated, even highlighted in RED. If you are looking for idiots, check the mirror.

Wow Ron, did I hit a nerve?
Your not the idiot I was corisponding with via email are you?
If not, you don't have all the facts so you can't make a factual comment.
And I just checked the mirror to see if your correct, your not

Go ahead and dispute it. When they see the agreement YOU agreed to, you will lose. Yeah, let's see who the idiot is. It's people like you who caused us to have to create an agreement for you to agree to in the first place. Typically idiots are those who can't read or don't read or won't read. So re-read this if you are still not sure. And, Good Luck to Ya.

Attendance
Isn't it in the best interest of the event to reach the attendance limit?
I personally want to see every slot filled...without the cars, there is no event.

I am interested in a spot - and believe if someone shows up with proof of purchase should be fine......the name may change, or different Cobra type, but the event cost for a spot was paid...let me know to discuss........thanks, R

If you REALLY want to go to the event, please push on the organizer to change the policy. Doesn't make any sense at all to me, but I ain't running the event. 
The Nugget originally charged me for one night as a deposit, then credited my account when I cancelled my reservation....it's the way things in the world normally work!

If I had to guess, me thinks that there's no system to verify who's coming and who's going unless you have your registration packet and you're on a list, which may not be updated once it's created.
Most places will charge you a cancellation fee, unless you cancel 30 days (or whatever) before the event. I would think the more participants the better and keep the cancellation fees.
I would love to go, but alas, my Cobra is still sans engine and tranny.

Sure I'd love my entry fee back, but I knew the rules going in and it really isn't the end the world. I contacted Duane and politely told him that I would not be able to attend, hoping that it would open a spot for another attendee. I understand that it would be a pain to manage all of the changes, and I respect that.

Oh, and one more thing. Did some of you happen notice some of the real nimrod whiners on ClubCobra don't have a tropy next to their handle name here on CC. It's because they don't give anything or donate to ClubCobra either. And so the story goes.

I doubt he'd give it a shot though. I for one appreciate all you do Duane to put this on.

I too may have to cancel due to a conflict with the Indy qualifying 0n 14 to 19 May. I was REALLY looking forward to WSCB and may still get to attend. I emailed Duane hoping that if I did cancell that the spot could go to someone else. I had no thought of a refund and was treated with respect. Doesn't get better than that but still hope my spot can be used by someone else.

WOW!
I have gone the last two years and think this is a first class event! I have met Great people like Dick Smith (God bless him) and Peter Brock. The attendies are all wounderful people that have the same passion for these cars that I enjoy!. Sorry Duane that you are subjected to comments like this. I hope you take this with a grain of salt and keep it going for MANY years to come. God Bless and we will see you next month.
