To keep the costs down ,as we want as many racers/ fvmba members to race those who have trouble coming up with the startup costs of racing.  We will offer a 90 day comp. membership.
We ask for most riders to support FVMBA and pay the $20 if your not a member, "support those who suport you".
Racers who raced in Fvmba toonie series are already covered and members.
Buying a $36 associate ins. policy from us for 2012 will mean come springs toonie series your already insured,sweet.

[Mr.G]

If you raced the last  or any toonie races ,you bought a FVMBA membership ,so no need to worry about 4X ins.
till the jan /feb period as it's cycling bc ins which runs from jan --dec 2011.

[Mr.G]

U.S racers Washington state
Need a UCI license   U.S.        (we cannot sell you  a canadian license)
OR
$10 event license available at indoor as well as  a FVMBA license $20good for one year from the time you buy it.
as well as a out of country insurance.
You must sign a waiver stating you  indeed have out of country insurance.
then race fees of $12 or $7 for practice

[Mr.G]

U.S riders who race  say all of the next five indoor 4X races what's the cost?
--$10 event license +12 race fee x5 races=$110 cdn 
$20 fvmba membership optional,
the $10 event insurance is different than the associate club ins. cdn riders
pay,so you have the option of fvmba membership.
We would like to see U.S. riders come out and feel welcome here.
Remember have a U.S. uci license than you have insurance already.

Great first race night last night.
