It's shame the OBRA board ran off Sal Callura then isn't? Didn't he keep the OBRA truck down in Eugene last year and handle finding local officals? Sal has really been the driving force behind Eugene races the past few years. Putting on great events like the Ice Breaker Crit, Eugene Celebration, Twillight Crit Series, and a great State,errrrrr I mean OBRA Championships last year.

Sal has done alot of great things for the Eugene Area, and if given the chance would have been great for OBRA. Sounds like Eugene ridres are going to suffer the most though.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Racing in Eugene

As an organization we have tried to do things to incentize racing in the
Eugene area. It has been successful because there are weekly races there and
some established weekend events.
We had officials training in order to have the races be self supported. We
sent the yellow obra truck down with equipment to make race production
easier.
But now we have some upcoming events that we cannot get local officials to
attend. Bringing already overworked officials from the Portland area is a
huge mileage expense for race organizers. We have no one that will take
responsibility for the OBRA truck and equipment in the area so now we will
have to bring that back up to Portland.
As an organization we need people to step forward so that we can continue
these programs in the Eugene area. We need local Eugene people to step
forward. OBRA is not a big organiation with a huge staff and a lot of money.
It is pretty much just all of us riders trying to make our sport better.
