Is it a NORBA rule that experts and above are required to hold an annual license? In our area our local series has been cut to 3 races, and 2 of them conflict with other races that are closer and more challenging (ones i already plan on attending). In the local series updates they say that the annual pass is required for experts and above. I wonder if that was their rule, or NORBA's. I'd rather just pay the 5 dollar a day fee if im only making one of these races. At this time i cant commit to the Nat in idaho. In the past it hits me at a busy time, and its very costly. But even then 2 races out of a 60 dollar license is not very friendly.

To date the competing Oregon races are no longer NORBA, but if they go NORBA this year, then I'll have no problem getting the annual.

Thanks.

I recall reading somewheres that in order to race a NORBA sanctioned event as and Expert/Semi-Pro/Pro, you need to have a NORBA season license...

I read through the norba rule book online and didnt find wording in that sence.

Arent there any DH'ers who know this for sure?

I found this on TMBRA's website:

NORBA Requirements
All Pro, Semi-Pro and Expert racers are required to hold a valid NORBA annual license ($60). Non-NORBA licensed racers in all other categories will pay an additional $5 to race in the Spring Series races- the fee will be paid at the race site. Annual licenses can be purchased at the race site. Racers need their NORBA license & legal ID for registration. The Non-NORBA $5 fee will be waived for all Juniors 12 & U w/out an annual license.

I beleive that they(NORBA)requires ex/semi/pro racers to hold an annual license to race at norba sanctioned races. Not that some of the event promoters even send in their results for your points but I think that its mainly for insurance reasons.
