   Hmmm... It seems that a US team should contract me if I want to

"Eligibility

The race is open to US entities.  This includes US corporations, US 
non-profit organizations, US universities, sole proprietors that are US 
citizens or permanent residents, and partnerships of US citizens or 
permanent residents.  US teams may have individual members who are foreign."
