USARM Jacket

USARM now has jackets available again. You can get a Proban Bomber style jacket embroidered with your name. You may also order custom sizes, if needed, including chest, stomach and sleeve size. They run on the small side, so custom size may be your best bet. All you need to do is fill out the enclosed form and mail it with a check. The first order has been placed and there are 4 on the list for the next order. Please be aware that jackets can only be ordered in quantities of 25. In order to have your jacket in time for the WSB/AMA races you need to get your order in by May 24th.

If you have any questions, please contact Jerry Huff.

Russell School Trade

Russell now has a plan to trade work days for going through their schools. Ten weekends worked will allow you to go through the basic 3-day race school or the advanced race school from mid-October thru April on a space available plan. This is about a $900 discount.

Interested in More Time at the Track?

Want to work more events at Laguna Seca? Bo has requested that anyone who is interested contact the office and have their name put on the list. If you get called and are unable to work the event, your name will be cycled to the bottom of the list.

Thanks to Kati James for the pictures and write-ups.

Sean Finney, son of Kati James, and Mary Bellina, daughter of Dave & Kathy Bellina, became engaged on December 22, 2001. Sean asked and Mary said yes! No date has been set yet, but the families are very happy for the couple. Sean is the Crew Chief for RPMS Motorsports. Mary is a Crew Specialist for RPMS Motorsports and both are a part of the USARM family. Both Sean and Mary are in school, she in Modesto, he in Monterey, and plan to set a date when they graduate.

Congratulations are due to Gregg and Denise Schlaman on their marriage and on the birth of their daughter.
