I just donated. Go Zak!

But I have to make a comment. $1000 "service fee" to USAC? Man, I love
those guys.

Hey OBRA.

I have qualified to race at the 2016 Pan Am track championships in Aguascalientes, MEX Oct 5-9. This is my first opportunity to race for the National Team and I am planning to use the PanAms as a stepping stone towards World Cups and the World Championships that will be in Hong Kong this April. Unfortunately, USA Cycling doesn't cover many of the costs for these events. The trip to PanAms alone will cost me about $2000 out of pocket, a $1000 service fee to USAC plus airfare and baggage. I have set up a RallyMe page to offset some of these costs for this and future national team races this season. I feel super awkward asking for money but I really appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks a ton!
