LOL, my mom and sister are pretty involved in working that race. They are more involved in the Tevis cup race though. Are you trying to get an entry from the lottery?
That is awesome that your family is involved in Western States! I have not seen the Tevis cup, I will look it up. I will probably enter the next lottery, they are for like 2 years in advance because you have to do a qualifying run. I just have to do that race.
