Check out the Support Sisterz group to see what this event is all about! www.supportsisterz.org/ Support Sisterz is a community-focused nonprofit organization comprised of breast cancer survivors with a passion to financially and emotionally empower women. We support women who are battling breast and gynecological cancers. What originally began as a small support group between friends fighting the same battle soon flourished into a 501(c)3 organization focused on supporting women who live or work in Corona, Norco, Eastvale and surrounding areas. While Support Sisterz remains committed to its original mission of providing emotional support through monthly gatherings, we have expanded to additionally provide much needed financial support to women in treatment.
We'd like to thank all of our wonderful 2026 sponsors below! We couldn't do this without you! If you are interested in becoming a 2027 sponsor, now is the time! Please reach out to Jerry Lunde at 951-212-2238
Pre-entries will open January 4th. If you want to be in the main draw (drawn before the race starts), you will need to pre-enter by Jan 29th. All entries are through saddlebook.com/ALL entry fees will be cash only on site. You can also "late enter" on saddlebook starting February 3rd, but there will be a $25 late fee for all late entries after the Jan 29th cut-off. All late entries might be in the late draw (drawn after the race starts) unless we have openings and can fill you into those open spots. If you have multiple horses, please enter before the Jan 29th deadline as this will help us space out your horses.
If you want stalls, there will only be about 100 of them. If they run out we can try to help people find local stalls. There are plenty of ranches around Norco that allow stalling as well as RV parking for a small fee.
ALL entry fees will be CASH ONLY, collected on site when you check-in.
ALL Side Pots - $50 Entry Fee, pay once, run twice (Sat/Sun), single pot, we use your Fastest Time from either day. You can enter these even if you only run one day. A barrel down one day does NOT take you out of the side pots because it's your fastest time only that counts (not an avg).

We will be following payout percentages very similar to what the NBHA has detailed here...
Projected payouts are visible in Saddlebook but are subject to change. All projected results or "standings" and projected payouts are live posted on Saddlebook and NOT FINAL by nature. They are simply a projection based on what is in the computer at that time. No results/payouts are final until checked, double checked, closed, printed and paid.
Open money (and the $3,000 added money) are separate from the Novice money pot. Novice class will have a lower entry fee and no added money.
Futurity classes will be 2D with a full second split.
90% Payout with no grounds fee. Will run in a combined draw with the Open. Please choose "carry-over" unless you intend to run your horse twice. Any Futurity horse can be entered, even if you are not a WCBRA futurity member or a WCBRA member. Futurity horse qualifications are listed below.
Futurity Nomination Rules:
• Futurity side pot is open to horses 4 or 5 years old who have not competed in the barrel racing industry prior to Nov 15, 2026. If it is found out the horse competed prior to November 15, 2026, the horse will be disqualified and no refund will be given. Horse may have never competed for money, prizes or points any time before November 15, 2026. Futurity horses have only one 1 year of eligibility.
• All Futurity horses must be nominated into the program.
• To nominate a horse you must send in a photo of your horse, copy of registration papers (or vet affidavit as to age). Original registration papers will be required at the time of check-in. Non-registered horses will require an original veterinarian age certificate at the time of check-in. A photocopy of either registration or veterinarian age certificate will be required and retained.
Stalls and Dry Camping will be handled by Wanda. Send requests to Wanda at 909-287-9742 starting in January 2027. There are very limited, only 100 stalls available. Once full we will start a waiting list and we are trying to convince the City to set up more stalls as well. Stalls must be paid in advance (Venmo/Zelle to Wanda) and there are no refunds. You can resell them if you need to. Dry camping must be paid prior to arrival to enter the upper parking lot. If not paid you will be sent back to the lower level parking lot where the day haul-ins will be parked.
Stalls are $20/night with a 2-night minimum. Dry camping is the same, $20/night. Please review the parking map that we posted so you can get an idea of where parking is going to be so you know where to enter the event center.
We are expecting a large turnout. For this event, we will limit exhibitions to 1 each. You can get back in line if you'd like to do more than 1. We will require anyone in line with more than 1 horse, to allow the person behind you to go through while you switch horses, even if they are already tacked up. We ask everyone to limit time in the arena to less than 1 minute and to only turn each barrel once or twice at a maximum. If you are next in line, know that the person in front of you is only allowed to do 1 and be ready to walk in as they walk out.
Friday there won't be a dress code, but Satuday and Sunday will have a dress code. There will be a hat fine so please consider wearing a helmet! There is no dress code for the roping events.
The City of Norco requires all vendors have a City of Norco business license, very specific insurance policy requirements, and a CA state seller's permit. If you are interested in being a vendor please email lundebarrels@gmail.com and we can help point you in the right direction.
We offer a Novice class with a +3.0 second time split based off of the overall fast time from the Open. This will allow us to keep your entry fees lower. Our Novice class is not a completely separate race in the sense that it will include a +3.000 second time split based on the Open 1D fast time. Think of it like an added division that is another 1 second slower than the last Open division. This means that the fastest Novice time ran may not win the Novice class, but the time closest to the time split just like in the 2D, 3D, and 4D of a standard race. The purpose of this +3.000 second time split is to encourage new riders who are just beginning and looking to start competing in the sport of barrel racing. We would like to reach out to the young and beginner riders of all ages and help them get started in this great sport and keep this class competitive for those riders, rather than allowing it to be won by someone who could have also placed in the 3D or 4D of the Open.
Our 3D 'Top 3' Sidepot will be formatted as follows:
We will take your Fastest Time from either Saturday or Sunday and use that time for the side pot results.
$50 Entry Fee, 90% Payout
This side pot can result in the BIGGEST checks of the whole race with enough entries. One year the winner took home over $1,600 from this pot alone.
Previous example payout...
1D 2D 3D
$1,609 $965 $644
$965 $579 $386
$644 $386 $257
Pays TOP 3 in each of 3 Divisions.
+0.0 = 1D
+0.7 = 2D
+1.4 = 3D
These 0.7 second splits are a fun twist because they are times that would otherwise normally fall in the middle of the 2D or 3D so if you miss the payout splits in the Open you may hit these time splits instead! This side pot is completely optional but gives you more chances to win!
We will have a Youth Sidepot, Prime Sidepot, and a Senior Sidepot. It will be a $50 entry fee (pay once), 90% payout, no grounds fee, carry-over only and you would have to also be entered in the Open (or novice).
Helmet Sidepot Rule: Any contestant entered in the helmet sidepot must run Saturday AND Sunday in a helmet. Failure to do so will result in disqualification from the Helmet sidepot ONLY for BOTH days without refund.
Sidepot Rule: All contestants MUST declare and pay for entry of any sidepot PRIOR TO their first run (not counting Friday). In years past we allowed some contestants to enter a sidepot on Sunday, even if they had already run on Saturday. We would have DQ'd their Saturday time in that case to keep it fair, but our new software cannot do that. With that being said, we will no longer offer sidepot entry for Sunday only after a Saturday run. If you aren't entering on Saturday however, you can still enter for Sunday only, or vice versa because you only HAVE to run once to qualify for the side pots.
