CMRA Expert Eric Falt and CMRA Amateur Michael Sanchez have won sponsorship of racing-related expenses for the CCS Race of Champions in Daytona, October 16-20.

CMRA (Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association), the South Central Region CCS affiliate, teamed with Blockworks in the 2002 “Race To The Beach” competition.

The “Race To The Beach” program was started by Blockworks owner and CMRA officer/racer Eric Kelcher as a way to help deserving racers represent CMRA at the CCS Race of Champions.

Blockworks is a Dallas-based company that specializes in installing decorative glass-block walls.

Contest winners earn free transportation for up to two bikes with equipment and spares, one set of new tires of their choice, paid entry for up to five classes, paid entry into the Team Hammer track ride/practice day and a hotel room for the long weekend in Florida. All the winners have to do is get themselves to Daytona Beach, list Blockworks and CMRA as sponsors on their entry forms and run CMRA and Blockworks stickers on their bikes.

Race To The Beach winners are determined by points earned in no more than three classes at CMRA events through a pre-determined part of the season, in both Expert and Amateur classes.
