CHANGE IN OVERALL
POINT CALCULATION:
We're bringing the PNSA Championships back into the overall
point count. After each PNSA Championship race
we'll re-tally the results. So if you're in the
running - you best head for Bend in the spring.

Masters and provide the number of your bib and your
address. Send it to: Richard Zimmerman 4921 N

USSA, FIS Masters has changed its equipment rules to
