Dave Petermeier
Thanks everyone! It's clear that I should be able to race my category. The
big question is how much is that going to cost, a one-day license or a full
membership? Sounds like full membership which is unfortunate, perhaps
that's something OBRA can work on with USAC for next year. A one-day
license option for those of us who travel and have the opportunity to race
in other communities would be great (for us and the sport!). I'll contact
the race promoter to see if they have an "alternative" interpretation of
the situation but the easiest (and cheapest) may be to just get a one-day
license and race the 45+ Open category and possibly follow that up with the
4/5 race if I can.
Cheers,
/Dave.
