If it's going to be a "State Championship" it could be just residents. But, I agree it would suck to exclude our neighbors (like Yreka also) who support OBRA every year. Maybe you should have to have a license at the start of the season to qualify for a Championship placing.
This may be a rare case since the championship race was in S. Oregon this year and more Californians came up. I just hate seeing OBRA people bumped out by a one time racer from Cali. Maybe we could charge them triple for an annual license. j/k
