COM License Exp. 12/09 - Open Test 4/15/10 ?

[McMahonRacing]

COM License, expired 12/31/2009 ....... wouldn't really worry about it, figuring we would be issued new ones at the first event ...... however, I use mine to get into NHMS Open Test Days and there is a test date of April 15th for cars w/ our first event date May 3 @ Monticello ........ any suggestions on how I might go about getting an updated license a little bit early to avoid any hastles at the Open Test Day ?????
Thanks
Pat

We have begun assembling the required information to print and laminate a new batch of licenses for the entire licensed membership. I expect the job to be completed in the next few weeks.
But yours is really a two part question. So, to answer part 1; yes, we will have licenses available in time for the April NHMS test session. Part 2 of the question is "How do we get our new licenses right away instead of waiting until the next COM event?"
Well, that is a question I've presented to a few board members and I expect to get their response after the next meeting.
Historically, I've mailed them out after receiving a self-addressed stamped envelope from the requester. However, the club is in slightly better financial health now, perhaps we'll mail them out on request... no promises though!
We'll keep you informed.

My COM license says it expires 2010..no actual month/day date.Do you think I will be OK at a NHMS open track days signing up? It could be interpreted as expiring at the beginning of 2010 OR at the last day of 2010. Hate to be turned away by a bad interpretation! If you are doing a batch of new licenses I would also like to be on the "list".

You're on the list, as long as you are still part of "the entire licensed membership."

Thanks Carl.I did not read your response thoroughly...must be the weather!

[Mark Swinehart]

Carl -

Can I get mine too!

[breakaway500]

Actually,this was the "list" I was hoping to get on..the request to mail list.

"perhaps we'll mail them out on request..."

[chaos4NH]

Oh me oh my! just noticed mine expired on Dec 31, 2009. Put me on the list please!

[WillM]

Carl,

How about selling them at the door? Might be worth the trip to NHMS on 04/15

I expect my usual 20%.

[cfossum]

Yes Mark, the weather is extremely distracting... I just waltz'ed into my office after being in the garage this morning, its friggin' 11:00!
Will, I expect that you and Fred will need to spearhead the effort to approve mailing the licenses out! I was planning to mail Swinehart's anyhow using my own stamp, as long as he's on the list. Oh, and Will, so far I'm in the hole... you owe me the usual 20%.
Sam..., you are the reason there is a list.

How sweet of you!!!

[breakaway500]

Should we who wish our licenses "early" send in self addressed stamped envelopes at this time?

[cfossum]

The laminating materials haven't even shown up yet, we have time to wait to see what the borg decides.
