Bub Marley Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Just a quick question wrt the recent news regarding the PPA/CSA working together now. In terms of doing a PPA Event, and if I'm not a PPA member, will I now get a time from Racetec as long as I have a CSA membership?Also, do I get a discount for these races if I'm a CSA member only? Just trying to see whether it's worth my while to still renew my PPA membership?
Wannabe Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Contact the PPA and ask them.Better straight from the horses mouth, than from a 3rd party.

PPA gets no benefit from CSA and CSA gets no benefit from PPA events. The only thing that's really changed is that licensed riders can take part in PPA events that are not santioned by CSA without fear of getting banned from CSA sanctioned events.
CleatsnCleavage Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 OP PPA is only for Western Cape so not many people up country bother having it and Im sure we will still get timed. I am not renewing mine now that I live in JHB, just for the CTCT..no ways.

(That's how I understand it, but then, these things can be a bit smoke and mirrors at the best of times, not to mention cloak and dagger. )
American Flyers Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 The only problem is that if you want to do One Tonner or any PPA fun rides, you will start at the back if you are not PPA member???

If it is a race that does its own seeding, like the Burger or the 99er, then you start where you get seeded. I think the 1 Tonner falls into that category but I'm not sure.
Bub Marley Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. Will probably have to just register again.
Wannabe Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 One Tonner uses PPA seeding, that's why teams that uses it as a dress rehearsal for the DC, starts with the slowest seeded rider in the team.
