I imagine it's the "cost" have having a free list server [with topica]. I

have noticed that the new ads are causing spam filtering software

(SpamAssassin in particular) to flag 95% of the list as spam now...

The wheel car did not show up at the race today because Roger's car broke

down on the way there. Although his car does look cool with all the wheels

on it, it is not that unexpected that it would break down since it has about

300,000 miles on it (literally). This does emphasis how important it is

that people bring wheels and not depend only on the OBRA wheels. It also

demonstrates the costs of the program, one of the costs being covering the

transport of wheels to the event. It is understandable that people might be

bothered by paying $1 today and not having the wheels available but I would

urge them to realize that it is not a $1 payment for a specific service on a

specific day but rather contributing to covering the costs of a program that

many people seem to appreciate.



For this coming weekend the Piece of Cake RR will not be using the OBRA

wheels. There will be no $1 charge. Riders should bring wheels to put into

follow vehicles. For future events the plan will be that if the OBRA wheels

are going to be used all riders will pay $1 which will be waived if you

provide a set of wheels for the follow vehicle.
