Swamis Racing Support - 2010

Swami's is a USCF club with a strong racing tradition. As such, part of  Swami's mission is to support our racers at all levels. Swami’s has developed the following incentive and participation based plan to support our qualifying Masters, Women’s and Category 1-4 racers during the 2010 season.  Please note this support is a target rather than a guarantee.  Support for racers may be more or less as dictated by available club funds.
