I, when I am the chief judge, prefer that the rider stops by and confirms

his place. It is nice if they would wait a short period, maybe after their

cool down to do so

Subject: RE: [OBRA Chat] Treatment of officials and volunteers, general be

havior





 I agree that we as racers sometimes seem to get mixed signals from the

officials. I didn't see first hand what happened after the masters race,

but we are all told that if we think we may have been in the top 15 we

need to let the officials know. At the same time, the officials often

make us feel like they don't have time to talk to us. After the 4/5 race,

someone told us to talk to Geri after the race, not the officials in the

OBRA truck. I believe that Geri was driving the follow car for that race.

Is it (or should it) be standard that if we were in the top 15 we talk to

the official for our race, and that official is the person in the follow

car?

I am new to road racing and have been encouraged by officials to speak

up if

  I think I placed in the top 15. On the other hand, it seems to add chaos

to

  the finish area.
