David, First of all to talk to me if I just started to ride/race a few day's ago and for the lap board it stated "1" to go and that's way we all sprinted for it. So ask the rider who did win the race on the first "last lap" and see how he feels or see when it will happen to you how you feel about paying for the race.. Also If the promoter of the race would take more time to educate the riders on how to race other than just setting up the tables and taking money, like they did in the pass we would hopefully see less emergency vehicles showing up to the race. Jeff Hass did for years and the team that promotes the race needed to ride with the lower CAT's to teach them on the correct riding techniques.

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] Extra lap!
The officials can change laps and hot spots on a moments notice. Sorry that this stinks. There was a missed hotspot that we made up in the 4 field and we had to add a lap for the 1/2/3. This really made it confusing to some but Candi and Lisa yelled to the field that there was an extra lap. I know it's hard but it is the rider's responsibility to look at the lap board and pay attention to the officials. Especially when you see them leaning over the barrier yelling "2 to go" and waving thier hands.
Just because I say you have 18 laps and 3 hot spots at the start doesn't mean it's true..you could do more or less laps and the same goes for hot spots. We try to keep it fair to all.
BTW, if you don't hear a bell, the hot spot or finish don't exist for that lap. The bell rules.
