Greetings OBRA racers,

We are just two weeks away from the start of the Portland MTB Short Track Series (www.portlandracing.com), so time for a couple updates. (Some of you might have received this info already through an e-mail I sent out earlier today).

1) Last week to pre-register!
There are about 5 days left (until Friday) to pre-register for the short track races. Even if you pre-register for just one race, you will receive a super-cool personalized race plate plus a goodie package at your first race! And if you opt for our series pass, we let you race all six races for the price of five! So don't wait around and send in your registration form today. More details at: http://www.portlandracing.com/registration.html.

2) Upcoming: MTB Short Track Racing at the Mountain (II) - Sat July 1st
I am helping Petr organize another fun, pre-series short track race at Skibowl on Saturday morning. This time around, we will start at 11am (one hour later than last time) and short track racers will be able to earn valuable bonus seconds towards their XC races. No more holding back! This will definitely be a great test, just one week ahead of our series kick-off. For more info visit http://www.portlandracing.com/skibowl-shorttrack.html.

3) Short Track Series Finals & Bridge Pedal
I got word that this year's Bridge Pedal will take place on the same date as the short track series finals (Sun Aug 13). I could ask them to move it, or alternatively, we could look into moving our series finals to Saturday morning (Aug 12) or Monday night (Aug 14). However, first I like to find out if anyone actually has an issue with keeping the finals on Sunday morning. If you have an opinion one way or another, just shoot me an e-mail.

That's it for now. I am looking forward to seeing you at the races.

Cheers!
~Kris
