In other words: assimilate, dammit! Then people would have less to complain about.
My license cost me $20 and race results are posted next day. OBRA has a reciprocity agreement with USAC, so there really is no downside. If I want to race outside of OR, I can just buy a USAC license and my category transfers straight across.
OBRA is a
