Quick side note on fee's...I was looking at the 1992
Oakridge Fat Tire Festival flyer and it cost $20-$25
plus late fee's to race back then...so after nearly 15
years the fee's are almost the same at Mt Bike
races...think about that next time you think we pay
too much please.
While chips would be awesome here are a couple issues
to be addressed
1. Does OBRA even want to do this? I know OBRA likes
to pride theirselves on affordable membership. Plus
it would be one more thing for them to deal with.
2. Some days there are 3 events at the same time
(road, mountain, crit, ect..), whom would get the
system? My guess is there would be a rental fee the
promoters would pay and they would have to pay to have
someone run the system too, so their cost would go up
and they would charge a little more too for each race.
3. Would the membership as a whole be willing to pay
extra, so far we have only heard from a couple people.
Personally looking at what USA/norba fee's are OBRA
could raise fee's $10 and still be half what they
charge non Jr's and 100% less for JR's and USA/norba
have said they are raising fee's again in 2006.
Just some issue's to think about.
Thanks
Randy
