ACTRA Heads Down Home Stretch of the 2009 Season
With many Chapters closing their membership in July now is the time to become an ACTRA member and get qualified for this year’s Wrangler Professional’s Choice ACTRA National Finals to be held in Reno, Nevada October 19th thru the 25th.
Estimated payoff at these Finals is over $800,000.00 in cash and Awards!! The return to the National Finals Contestants is expected to exceed 125%!!
This year’s average winner of the various ropings can expect to share from $18,000 to $60,000. Not too bad for entry fees varying from $60.00 to $75.00
Average Winners in the 3, 4, 5.5, 8.5, 10.5 and Century will receive outstanding trophy saddles designed by Scott Thomas and “Gold Buckles” designed by Skyline Silversmiths. The other top 9 average winning teams will receive awards from Les Vogt Silver Bits and Spurs, Professional’s Choice and Cactus Saddlery. The rest of the high call teams will have a choice of Weaver Leather’s halter and leads, Professional’s Choice gear bags or overreach boots. There will be rope sponsorships in certain ropings for the highest placing team using either a Cactus or Fast Back Rope and the highest placing team using 3 Professional’s Choice products. The Weaver Leather Challenge steer will be back and some special awards in the Super #7. Speaking of the Super #7 roping, the average winners will each win a Logan Coach 3 horse trailer! That alone is worth joining ACTRA and qualifying for the Chapter Finals and then on to the National Finals.
The whole week will be filled with fun and surprises. Tyler Magnus will be back with his clinic on Tuesday. New this year a Calcutta will be held Wednesday night at the catastrophe auction for the Super #7 Roping. Circus Circus will host the slot machine tournament. Ricky and Red Streaks will be playing in the Circus Circus Lounge nightly.
