Great link, problem is, I can't read it or for that matter, register.

I want to race at La Costa.

Can someone answer who I should contact to enter the event because the registration method excludes me.

A private message is fine.

Thank you.

La Costa Open 2004?

...I found some reference a while ago online about the posibility of a La Costa race this summer.

Is this true?

Can we have some information here about this race?

If it is going to happen, I will attend and want to promote it here.

Thanks in advance.
