Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't filing a protest with the officials at the race the "proper" thing to do? Then each side can tell their story and have a judgment made. The OBRA list is a great forum for discussion but not so great for action. Everyone should take a look at the NORBA rulebook (hard to do for OBRA folks...) and understand what is expected from you and other racers and act appropriately. And a little empathy doesn't hurt. Ultimately, it's up to each racer to decide whether any given action is more likely to result in a better result or in a disqualification or suspension. And it's up to the officials and promoters to give the rules some teeth. -Dion X-From_: wlee-@newportnet.com Tue Apr 18 09:01:10 2000 Return-Path: <wlee-@newportnet.com> Delivered-To: ob-@teleport.com To: ob-@teleport.com Subject: Racing observations From: "Bill Leeper" <wlee-@newportnet.com> Reply-To: wlee-@newportnet.com Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2000 02:00:21 -0700 I recently had the pleasure and the pain of competing in my first Mountain Bike race. "The Chainbreaker". I say pleasure because for most of the race I really did enjoy it. I say pain because approximately 2 miles from the end someone wiped me out from behind and left me laying face down in the dirt. <stuff deleted> |
