It is time to compile the KCA 2011 Race Calendar.  A club that does not promote or co-promote a race each year, or promote a USAC approved alternate event, may not be “sponsored” by a business and have advertising on their jerseys.  Category D and E races can be promoted by two clubs.  This is a good opportunity for a seasoned promoter to partner with a new promoter.  This year, rather than compile the calendar at a meeting, we will do so via your email submissions to KCA Board Member Steve Songer of your preferred race information.  Please include any updated contact information for your club’s contacts.  Steve’s email address is ssonger@celgene.com.  Please send your information to Steve by December 1, 2010.

A promoter will not be allowed to reserve a date on the 2011 Calendar if it is delinquent in payment to KCA of any 2010 race surcharges.  If you need confirmation of any owed monies, please email Jeff Lively, KCA Treasurer jeffrey.lively@gmail.com.

To help ensure that all races placed on the 2011 Calendar are held, promoters who have canceled scheduled races in prior years (for other than inability to obtain course approval) must pay a $50 deposit to the KCA to reserve a date on the calendar.  If the race is held, the $50 will be applied to any surcharge or equipment fee owed by the promoter to the KCA for that race.  If no monies are owed the KCA by the promoter, the $50 will be returned to the promoter after the race is held.  Promoters who have consistently promoted the races they scheduled on race calendars for prior years, and new promoters, will be given race date preferences over promoters who have cancelled scheduled races.
