The Finley Flyers will set aside money during 1999 in order to help reimburse expenses related to MTB and road racing at sanctioned events (normally NORBA and USCF). This is being done in order to further the sport and to give back some of the money generated by the Flyers to competitive racers. The reimbursement is intended to cover expenses such as race entry fees and directly related travel and lodging expenses. Undoubtedly, the Flyers won’t be able to reimburse all of your expenses, but we hope to do what we can to make you feel that much better about being a Flyers member and to put some cash back into your pocket. The focus for the MTB reimbursement will be the WIM Series or other local races since our sponsors are local.

The order of priority for reimbursement will be entry fees, travel expenses, and then lodging expenses. In order to be eligible for reimbursement, you need to be a current Flyers member and active in the Club. The more effort put back into the Club and into the sport the more you will be considered for reimbursement.

So, what you need to do is to keep track of the races that you entered, the race entry fees, and the directly related travel and lodging expenses. Receipts will help justify your reimbursement, but they are not required. All of this will need to be submitted to Rob Hastings for MTB races or to Randy Coleman for road races at the end of the racing season, October 15, 1999. Rob Hastings and Randy Coleman will decide who gets what.

While this Program certainly isn’t a get rich quick scheme, hopefully it will make competitive racing that much more fun and enjoyable.
