Can you believe that it’s 2017 already, and we are literally just a couple months away from our New Riders School session for the 2017 race season? I know I can’t wait for the race season to start!

This post is to let all of you know that we are now accepting membership applications for the 2017 race season! As in previous years you can process your entire application electronically via the CRA Store, or if you prefer you may process it via US Mail or even in person at a membership meeting.

First, please take the time to read the membership cover letter for this season found here: 2017 Membership Cover Letter. This gives you some information on how to process your membership application, discusses some changes that were made to the CRA membership application, as well as some upcoming events and things happening this race season.

Second, download the CRA membership application found here: 2017 CRA Membership Form. Please, please, please make sure you are filling this form out completely, and legibly. If we cannot read part or all of your application – it may result in delays processing your application, and as a result you may miss out on important deadlines! Another important item is that you MUST physically, or properly electronically sign if submitting electronically, your membership application.

One final item that I want to point out separately. On the membership application starting this season we are now asking if you would like to “Opt-Out”from receiving the eNewsletter, and eBallots. By opting out this means you will receive a physical hard copy of either the newsletter, the election ballot, or both via US Mail.

As always, should you have any questions in regards to your membership application, or any other membership related questions – please feel free to email me directly.

Brian Mattson – Membership Director
