They take lots, I honestly don't think there really is a qualifying standard but I could be wrong. I think it's a good idea at this point to fill up an usually small race. When they get it bigger and more marketable maybe then they can crank down the qualifying standards. I just got the email today, don't remember where I was ranked, top 50 maybe in age group...

Just buy a gold membership and you can get in without ever running a race.

Justin in Austin, get it? :)

Cool races:
- Redman
- Desoto American Triple T

I thought one of my USAT friends put that guy Jeff up to sending me that email..

I received one also.

ah ok.. I just find it interesting that a "national" race would be qualified like that. Most others sports have much tougher qualifying requirements.

I think they've discontinued that benefit.
