Heck, I haven't even received my 200 MPH club certificate.

  I haven't either and we were at the 2 club registration at the same time with Allison.

 Seems she was out of everything and said she would send it.

  Record certificate just came but no timing tag yet.

Certs arrived today but no tags.  Maybe before next August?

Thanks Dan. I haven't taken my red hat off yet. Wife has been making rude comments about it.

I am going to have to find a place for my "worn out' hats. I just doesn't seem right to throw one away. I always have two active hats, one for work and one for dress up. 8-) :cheers:

Still no tags here and no reply to an email inquiry to Russ either.

I stopped holding my breath a while back.  No point turning blue waiting for a red tag.

Got my duplicate record tags last week, but they listed the record location as El Mirage instead of B'ville. havent got the original as yet

I like to have 3- 1 each for the bike, truck and workbench. They are hard to get.

I emailed Russ as I stated above with no reply. Yesterday I emailed Bill Latten and he replied that they were still in work.

I wrote to Russ on behalf of another racer and recieved this reply:

"As you know (discussed in the November, December, and January board meetings) – the engraving process was delayed because the engraver ran out of the blank tags upon which to engrave.  As of the February 3 rd board meeting, the engraver had received the blanks, engraved them, and Gene had picked them up.  When I spoke to Gene Feb 3 rd , he was preparing to send them to JoAnn at the Office for mailing.  I checked with her last Friday and the office had received the tags and they were packaging, addressing and mailing them out (40 a day or so) and there is a total of about 175 or so in the entire group.
 
So I believe the xxx timing tag (red) will be in the “soon to be delivered” group and the xxx should get it soon.  If it does turn out to be missing I will re-process the order.  We have discussed previously our somewhat convoluted (certainly multi-party confusing) tag processing sequence and I have proposed some changes to the Board that will hopefully streamline the process and reduce the number pf players and extra steps in the sequence for next years effort."
