Candi:
I happily dropped my dollar in the jar at POC #3 even though I
ride C-10. I also have no problem paying an entry surcharge to have
spare wheels available. I've never liked to hassle with placing in and
fetching from a follow vehicle or crit pit a pair of spare wheels that I
might not get back. The wheel program is a fine service and I very much
appreciate all that you and the other tireless OBRA folks do to make
Oregon head and shoulders the best place I've ever raced.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Maybe no surcharge for the wheels?
Well the donations did very poorly. Last race $83 and two people gave
$10 a
piece. I had trouble with the people voluntarily donating and the
others
just using it with no input. Thought it would work out better if it was
shared by everyone. Now with the demand for 10 speeds we couldn't run
the
program at all without a source of income. We put out the message to
the
group and overwhelmingly got back the response to tack on the $1. If
there
is such a back draft on this being negative we can just cancel it.

Hi Candy,
Between you and me, I think this is a very poorly worded message. I
think
you are going to set off a lot of people. Maybe I'm missing something,
and
that was your intention. But this doesn't feel like it's keeping with
the
culture of OBRA to me.
I have felt good about donating a buck at a couple of races this year,
even
though, as a Shimano 10-sp rider, I can only use the front wheels, I
don't
mind helping out. Now I feel like just another dope being walked on by
a
bureaucracy.
I appreciate the wheel program and am glad it's there, even though I
haven't
used it. But there is a big difference between paying an entry fee to
cover
all costs of promoting a race (including hopefully a little profit for
the
promoter), and paying an entry fee plus a bunch of miscellaneous
surcharges.
I know it's only one.....so far.
Did the promoters have input on this?
You can share this if you want, I just didn't want to knock you infront
of
the group.
Thanks,
Ron

Road Rider-
OBRA had now imposed a $1 wheel tax on all road race entry fees. So
when
you head to OSU it will be $16 instead of $15
Piece of Cake will be $18 preregister, $21 day of race
Kings Valley is now $20 preregister, $26 day of race
UofO is $18 peregister and $21 day of race
Save the organizers the hassel and remember your $1 bills!
