Location: Riding Crackhead. | Poor Renea. She has to be going insane. I was one of the lucky ones that got entered, card charged only once and got my email confirmation.
2 of my friends had the same luck I did and 2 friends hit submit and it went down again. They aren't sure if they're entered or not.
I hope everyone has patience. |

| I think I was a lucky one too. Entered, email and cc confirmation. I feel bad for people who aren't having any luck and really feel bad for Renea since she has no control over the website.
Facebook looks like a war zone. |

OK first of all we have to meet up down there! 2nd I feel horrible for her. It just goes to show everyone and their dog wants to run at this since its got amazing added money but more than that she runs such an awesome barrel race! My daughter does FB and she said there's a lot of people getting ticked off. My 2 friends that it froze up on checked their credit cards and they were charged so it sounds like they'll be ok. Its just going to take time to get everyone notified. |

Sounds good, meeting up!
There is is a list on FB now of the ones who got through. The website is down until 3:30 or so for repairs and people who got multiple charges. |

I hope you get in to the sessions you want. I know if I were in your shoes I would be beyond frustrated but hopefully everything turns out and everyone has patience. (o: |

I about had an anxiety attack at 11:59. I thought to myself. This is the dumbest thing ever to be so wound up about a barrel race! I look forward to meeting you! |

| I was shaking so bad when I got done! Almost worse than running! Lol!
Hope people get what they want, already some major grumbling going on over at FB. I know I'd be super mad too, but even if the website worked like a charm, there is the risk you wouldn't get what you wanted.
Poor Renae! |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I saw now where they are shutting it down until tomorrow. I wish people wouldn't have been so psycho and hit submit so many times. That helped crash it and now its showing all stalls are over sold plus sessions are over sold. They have to call each person and find out exactly how many stalls they need and what sessions they want. Its very unfortunate. Renea posted someone hit submit 25 times which charged their CC 25 times, took that many stalls and that many entries. Wow |

Location: Nebraska | Yeah, that's a little ridiculous. I was waiting at the computer at 11:59 but then saw that it wouldn't be up for a bit so went back to work. I tried entering at 12:50 ish until the website crashed. I'm hoping that those sessions are filled with duplicates. Those are the ones I needed to work around school! Go figure. Look forward to meeting you guys and wish you luck entering tomorrow :) |

I hope your sessions are open. I was one of the lucky ones and I'm in. Nateracer said she is too. Its going to take Renea a long time to get all these duplicates straightened out. |

Good for you guys! I really want to go, but whatever will happen I'll just have to work around! Everything happens for a reason. Last year I got in before the website crashed then had to scratch at the deadline because my mare got hurt. |

We are running Friday evening, both sessions Saturday and Sunday morning.  |
