Did USUC outsource office help to BoA? BoA lost my loan paperwork 1 week before closing.

The same could be said for event promoters. Years ago I found it
easier/cheaper to source my own insurance, let alone jump through all the
hoops USAC/USFC/NORBA required (and they lost my paperwork twice for the
same event!).

OBRA made/makes the process dead easy and even cheaper.

I would not be racing if USAC was the only game in town.Frankly, I doubt I could afford it; and based on the overall vibe I've witnessed back east at USAC races even if I could I doubt I'd get much support for even attempting the sport.If USAC was ever successful in subsuming/assimilating OBRA that would be the end of my racing involvement. Being such a slow racer I would probably not be missed athletically speaking, but I would certainly miss it, and that is why I continue to love and support OBRA. Simply put, OBRA is all about getting more people involved at every level of bike racing -- including slowpokes like me.

Hi OBRA land
I have a unique perspective on this. I use to live 4 blocks from USAC in
colorado Springs and I sat on the ACA Board for several years. All I have
to say is OBRA keep doing what your doing! You guys are doing a bang up
job and I personally don't trust the higher ups at USAC. I have first hand
experience with this. We (ACA membership) have always wanted reunification
with USAC in a win win situation. And Every time we looked at trying
something it was a win lose (in a big way deal) for us.

Cheers
Scott
