Hi friends,
Supercross season is starting this Saturday night in Anaheim! Since 1995, Supercross.com has strived to give back to the motocross community. One of my goals was and is to offer unique content from my perspective. Another goal is to make the Internet quicker and better for everyone. In the past, we've offered free e-mail results newsletter & free results to mobile phones.
With the acceptance of these technologies worldwide, we all deal with issues like excess e-mail, spam, and more. We've been working with large Internet service providers to find a solution to this, and, we've upgraded the technology we use here at Supercross.com.
Starting in 2005, we are doing our part to make things better, and, to attack these technology issues head-on. What does this mean to you? Our free e-mail results newsletter, and free results to mobile phones is changing. We are stopping our e-mail results newsletter temporarily. (Yes, I know how disappointed you are! The newsletter will be back at some point in the future though.) And, because of the new technology we are using for mobile phone results, there is now a cost involved.
Thru technical partner Sports4Mobile, we will offer race results to mobile phones for a fee ($14 for 12 months) in North America. You can check it out at this link:

(We are working on the technology to send results to mobile phones worldwide.)
Just like the sport of supercross, technology and the Internet is growing and changing. Thanks for taking time to read this message, and your understanding of what's happening here. I'll continue to try to give you unique things on my site that will make both me and you proud.

いやー、件名が"A message from Rick Johnson"になってるもんだから、マジでリックからメールが来たのかと思ったじゃんか(←バカ)。まー、つまり今シーズンはメールでの速報配信はやりませんよ、って感じですか。携帯電話メールへの配信サービスに切り換えて、それには(なぜか)お金がかかるんで登録ヨロってことでよろしいか。1年で12ドル。
