Dear Racers, below is a link to our 2010 US Cup calendar of events.

We have two series on tap, as well as an Invitational Only Shootout in early September.

Don't get confused as some of these events will overlap, acting as a Triple Crown, Kenda Cup West Series, Kenda Cup Qualifier or all of the above. 

We know as racers you only can be in so many places at once, and that you have other events you want to attend.  We hope to make each race you attend at the US Cup, something worth your time and effort.

Come join us for some good racing and entertainment in 2010.
