Created with YOU, the competitor in mind. 

We have found a way to help reward our loyal, repeat competitors!  Every rider likes to try for awards and Championship Titles.  For just one ride, you will have an opportunity to ride in the Open show, compete for USDF/USEF awards, enter Jack Pot Cash Classes and qualify for the Regional Championships.  Additionally, you can nominate to be in the 2008 I-35 Series Challenge.  Enter the I-35 Series Classes in the April 19-20 Show, again in the June 14-15 Show and then attend the I-35 Series Finals at the Aug. 30-31 Show.  A minimum investment of $6 qualifies you to compete in the I-35 series finals held at the Fall Show on Aug. 30-31.  The total investment could be as low as $12 to have a chance to earn the Title of "I-35 Series Challenge Champion 2008".

*The title of this series comes from the fact that the majority our competitors use the Federal Interstate Highway 35 to get to our shows.
