This, I thinks, is a wonderful idea! As a further note, we, the members of OBRA, owe a very large 'Thank You' to the family who allowed us to use their front yard for the registration table and post-event cool-down and the Gray Trout family for allowing us to use thier barnyard for parking. These two families could very easily have told us to jump off a cliff. Instead they were by far the kindest and most generous people I have encounterd in all of the years I have been racing here in Oregon! I would also like to thank all of you who turned out to race. The courtesy and thoughtfulness you displayed towards the above mentioned families was awesome! Their yards were left in better shape than before we were there, which I am sure they appreciated! I have said all along that I may not be the best racer in OBRA, but the reason I continue to inflate the prize lists (entry fees) is becuase of so many of the great competitors, some of whom have become great friends, that I race with or against. Once again, you showed your true class by pitching in and taking care of things on your own accord. TO that, I am very grateful!

Sometimes in dealing with these issues, all it takes is an acknowledgement of the minor inconvenience and some thanks. It may Laos embarrass (though I doubt it) the person who caused the problem. Other than briefly mentioning the gravel and the tacks, I would go easy on the issue, as someone suggested, we do not want to encourage others to follow suit. Perhaps we do not even want to mention it at all in what is supposed to be a thank you letter. George C.

As one of the three people who spent 2 hours Saturday evening sweeping the road, I can assure you that there was no gravel whatsoever on the road. Odds are good that it's some proto-adolescent. The same sort of twerp who will flip you off from the safety of the back seat of daddy's Suburban. Rather than trying to start a confrontation, I would suggest that sending a form letter to every house on Dairy Creek Road thanking them for their patience and cooperation would be a good move. In that letter, some statement about "... outside of someone tossing shovelfuls of gravel onto the course, the race went smoothly ..." and ask that anyone having information about this reckless endangerment contact OBRA might get the point across.
