USAT Rules

Ok I know this doesn’t apply to anybody on this board but…There are a lot of us out here in internet land that are USAT refs and if we see or hear of someone trying to buy or sell a race entry on the web our hands are somewhat tied. We have to report it. Please tell your friends especially those new to the sport what the rules are regarding competing under someone elses name it will save so much agravation and grief down the line. Yes it did happen on another forum. and as long as that person never buys an entry they should be OK
