If you decide you can go just keep planning on attending, as we've said before nobody on the waiting list has ever been turned away before. Nobody. Just figure on not hearing much now until maybe shortly before Dragweek. Since there are no pre-registration refunds there isn't much incentive for people dropping out to notify Hot Rod until the last minute. My experience, and from following a couple forums, is that when Hot Rod does start notifying waiting list people the process starts going fast. A lot of people who sign up on the waiting list will turn down their spot when the time comes. Many purposely sign up for the waiting list, knowing they may not get their car done or the time off from work, and not wanting to waste the registration money. In hindsight, and for the future, I think the smart thing to do is have a waiting list email draft all typed out and ready to go, and just hit send if you get the registration is full notice.
