I would like to take this opportunity
to appeal to all interested potential riders to contact John VanderMuelen (805) 937 8584 as soon as possible and let him know that
you want to ride next year. We plan a couple of practice sessions
during the winter, more if demand requires it. We would like as much
support as possible, to convince our promoter to continue investing in us.
