For 2008 the MRA and the SMRI are excited to announce a Regional Ladies Cup Series/Challenge - this is set for both grids of the New Mexico's SMRI Formula Femme and Colorado's MRA Ladies of the Rockies (LoR) racing together to compete in this Ladies Only Championship!!!

The Women of the West series will consist of a total of 4 rounds - 2 in Pueblo and 2 at the Sandia Motorspeedway in Albuquerque, NM

The Series is set for

SMRI - May 17/18
MRA - June 28/29 at Pueblo
MRA - August 8/9 at Pueblo
SMRI - October 18/19

At these rounds points count toward the local AND regional title, at the end of the Women of the West regional series a champion will be crowned!!!

Would like to thank both MRA and SMRI boards, which approved this Regional Series between both ladies classes in Formula Femme and the LoR this year to come together - participating in a first time ever CO/NM ladies championship within each of our respective race series!!!!!

The SMRI has hosted events like this in the past and has extended the invitation to the MRA's LoR - and it is the racers of the SMRI that have to invest a little extra time, effort and money to get their bikes prepped to the MRA technical specifications and are doing so without hesitation!

This truly is a great opportunity to increase awareness and participation for both clubs and the sport!!!! Congratulations Ladies!!!
