PA Women's/BAR Series Seeking Races!

We hope to enlist races for the 2008 Women’s Series that reflect a diversity of races: road, criterium, stage and time trial events. The PCA Women’s Racing Committee will offer race promoters a sign-on bonus to participate in the PA Women’s Series, on a first come, first served basis until subsidy funds are expended. Promoters are not obligated to participate in the Women’s Series.

Guidelines for Promoters:
1. All races offered in the PA Women’s Series and BAR must meet USAC mileage standards for upgrades.
2. Entry level fees and Prize lists are consistent with PA BAR standards.
3. Race promoters are encouraged to offer two women’s races: women's 1-2-3 and women’s 4.
4. Total maximum amount awarded to promoters ($200 for crits and $250 for road races)
5. Cat 3 results must be broken out of the Senior Women’s field.
6. Separate prize lists for competition categories are encouraged: W1-2, W3 and W4.
7. All promoters must submit race flyers to the PA Women’s Series for review and approval prior to posting on-line for registration.
8. No more than 3 events per single promoter can receive subsidy.
9. Note that Time Trial events are not eligible for bonuses, but will be considered as part of the Women’s Series/BAR if results are broken out by category (W1-2, W3, and W4).
10. Subsidy checks will be issued within 10 days after the event. Please note that failure to comply with PA Women’s Series guidelines may result in retraction of subsidy.

If you are a race promoter and wish to participate, please send your race flyer and information by March 15, 2008 to Dana Hanchin, Co-Coordinator of Women’s Racing Committee at dhanchin@comcast.net.
