So if you send off cheque now, but have to withdraw for whatever reason between now and January 31st - you will not cash the cheque???

errr.... depends whose cheque it is I guess...

Thinking about it (I know that's dangerous), but if the cheques are not neccessary until February, then whats the rush with sending them off now?

Would it not be fairer to ask for a letter of intent now, and when the rules/dates etc are finalised in February - ask for a cheque then?

That makes sense doesn't it?

As I said before, 5 months is a long time and circumstances can change.

Also, as Chris said (I think) this is all based on trust, so therefore there is no reason to request a cheque for £200 (yet!).

Trust me, I'm a DDoctor!

That's effectively what the cheque is - a letter of intent. Why would you not want to send a cheque in?

It seems to be what you are looking for as you can cancel it before the end of Jan next year and the RC will get a reasonable idea of numbers for next year on which to negotiate with New Era.

I want to show my interest in the 2007 series, but can't afford to lose £200 (or £2 for that matter) if I do something else.

Basically.

you boys have lost me - seems you want everything, but nothing!!!

Well not really Tim.

Basically, I'll just hang on to my £200 cheque and paperwork until I know exactly what I'm doing.

That just means that the RC won't have my 'entry' to add to their list when negotiating with NE.

No skin off my nose, but just means I can't help out 5-6 months before we start racing.
