Bring a Friend!!
----------------

Last season we launched a new "Bring a Friend" program to incentivize all our members to help build 
our program by bringing in new racers. We want to remind everyone about this initiative and 
encourage participation - we'd have a great problem if we have to give away a lot of free race 
entries because our members are bringing new racers to our events!

Here's how it works... If you bring a new racer to any of our races, you will receive a rebate on 
your entry fee for each race the new person enters that weekend. To qualify for your free race(s), 
you just need to contact Far West president Mark Mirviss at least 24 hours prior to the morning of 
the race. Send Mark an email at bringafriend at farwestmasters.org and let him know who you'll be 
bringing to the event. (Please, no phone calls!!! Mark says only email notification will qualify!)

This program is designed to attract more racers to our events and our organization. Please note 
that "new" is defined as someone who has not raced with us for at least three seasons, so you can 
qualify by bringing back a lapsed racer or a friend who's never tried masters racing. This is a 
grassroots effort to build our program and you will be rewarded for participating. Help spread the 
word about masters racing and share your enjoyment of the sport by bringing a friend to a race this 
season!
