Say you were racing a local 7 race series in the +30 Nov. class.  You have 4 races total lifetime and started MX riding at say 32 yrs. old.  You know you would be sandbagging in the beginner class so you race the +30 Novice instead of the 250 Novice.  
You work as hard as you can but with time off for injuries etc you just aren't as fast as you want to be but fast enough for consistent top 5 finishes.
Then some guy shows up a couple of races into the series on a mid eighties bike and starts cleaning up.  You applaud the guy for being fast on that boat only to find out that he has raced profesionally.  His argument is that since he's on an older bike and hasn't raced much in the past 5 plus years he feels justified for racing the novice class.
Would you bitch and protest the results or just set a goal to beat him in a least one race before the end of the series?
I mean the series points totals will win some prizes and such for the top 5 in each class but really it's not that big a deal.
I think I would prefer to beat the guy heads up over raising a stink and getting the points.
What do you think?
