National Mt Bike Ranking for Oregon Racers

I think the real question here is how many riders are there that really want

the NORBA ranking? Are they willing to pay the extra costs involved? If

there are hundreds of riders that want this then it would make sense. If

there are only a handful then it does not.

Hello All



Hope you are all doing well



First off I want to be VERY clear I support OBRA and

this e-mail is in NO way meant to say we are looking

at going with norba, but...



A few I stress a few so far upper level racers have

asked if one or two events could be dual supported by

OBRA and norba, so they can get ranked and earn

national points. State Championships is one race they

would really like dual supported.



We are not sure how it would work and how much extra

it would cost per racer.



This e-mail is being sent to see if there is even

enough interest to go to the next step.



A couple things.



1. Nobra $50, $35 JR a year....OBRA $15 JR Free a

year



2. There will be extra cost for a Norba events, Norba

races average min. $30-45 a racers, OBRA $10, $20 and

$25 depending on age and class..Norba usage fee is

more



3. Are there enough people interested?



4. A few upper level racers need a race like this to

help their national ranking and get into other events,

but how many of you out there are in that group???



5. Besides State Championships what other event?

Remember promoter would have to agree to this too.



6. Is there someone that wants to put on a race only

for the people that want norba ranking.



What do you people think?



Thanks

Randy
