The OBRA data base is connected to race results.
Your OBRA number (THE ONE YOU PIN ON YOUR BODY!) is the important number.
If you wear last year's incorrect number someone else is listed for your results.
If your number cannot be read the officials can miss the next person or two following you.
For each person who wears or signs up under an incorrect number the officials must spend 3-7 minutes searching for the correct number and identity. If just 10 people show up and race under the incorrect number, 30 minutes to 70 minutes are spent figuring out the correct information.
Pleas sign up and wear correctly the correct number.
