Online entry cost is $15. If you enter on the day it'll be $20 in cash.
If the race is cancelled due to weather, all online entries will be refunded.
Later grades (A-C), please allow D to F grades priority at the registration desk before 7:30, plenty of time to register after they start racing.
Bring your CA LICENCE to EVERY race!! It may be checked at registration if there is a need to confirm current validity.
