	NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO PURCHASE RACE PACKAGES

Again this year, we are offering our racers a chance to cut racing costs in 2009 by offering gift certificates, available now, that allow racers to purchase "package deals" on specific types of races. You can purchase these certificates for a friend or for yourself! Choose the "2-Du" Package, the "Tri" Package, or any of the other package options - whatever suits your racing preference. Click here for more details.
	Quick charge members - if you selected the Quick charge payment option during the previous racing season, you will not have to provide any checking or credit card account information, unless the card has expired or you have changed checking accounts.
	SPONSORS
	What can you say about them? You've got to love 'em! There would be no races anywhere without sponsors.
