This is our tenth year as the official sponsor. We know that this grand event is eagerly awaited by everyone here at Swift Motors, As an employee of Swifts Motors, you will receive a 30% discount on general admis- sion to the big race in Flagstaff. Because we value employees and their families, you will also be given free vouchers for the hospitality tent where you can enjoy a buffet and drinks during the race (limited to 4 vouchers per family). The buffet normally costs $15 per person (7.50 for children under 12 years of age), so this is a great deal. Families will also get a garage pass giving full access to the garage where they can see the mechanics in action. Unfortunately, because of the potentially dangerous nature of the garage, only children over ten years of age can be admitted to the garage area. We are sorry to disappoint the young ones, but we do have to consider safety. No doubt you will understand our reasons. There are only 150 seats available in the stands, so make your reservation now.
