PACESETTING

If you are a pacesetter on a team participating in a division, you will automatically qualify as a potential pacesetter.  You must pay and participate with that team.  If there is a division that you do not have a team racing in, you can participate as a pacesetter.  You need to check in at the registration area at least 1/2 hour before race time.  There is no charge to be an additional pacesetter in a division you are not already a part of.

*Some divisions may not need any extra pacesetters
