RACER SUPPORT

Paramount Racing provides support, both material and financial to the members of its racing team. Experience, results, commitment, and need are used as the criteria to determine a rider's level of support.

Our members will be competing in 2006 as the Paramount Racing team in SCNCA events, as well as other targeted racers outside of this region. We will begin the season as the #7 team in the SoCal Cup rankings. A number of Paramount racers were state champions in 2005. Of course the costs of such a high level of competition can be substantial, so Paramount Racing helps its racers defray some of their expenses through our racer support program. Eligible racers receive not only complimentary or discounted clothing and equipment, but also either pre-paid or reimbursements for their race entry fees. Support for travel and lodging expenses are addressed on a case-by-case basis where applicable. Support is based on not only level of competition and commitment, but also volunteerism at team-sponsored activities and events. Thus the more Paramount members give back to the cycling community, the more help they get pursuing their sporting goals. Thanks to all our sponsors for making it possible!
