[QUOTE="James980, post: 283240, member: 16990"] Wouldn't it be sweet if we could assume what's written in the rule book was what happens? What I don't get is with a sport as physically demanding and dangerous as motocross, there are so many forces out there (riders, tracks, district officials, etc.) that got their panties all bunched up over the "I gotta kick someone's butt today and get myself another trouphy!" mentality, that they won't just deal with this sandbagging thing once and for all and get it over with. Just look at how rabid Wardy is over this issue, and he's the freakin' district MX director! Think about how ingrained this thinking must be if this guy can't just rip it out by the roots! As someone said, we can't be bigger wussies than the skeet shooters association, can we? Stick with no district awards for C -- maybe rename C "beginner". Forget D class like they run at Casey...just expands the problem. Only give plaques to C. For B, under 10: Trophy to third. Over 10: Trophy to fifth (maybe plaque to eighth). No money in B. Bigger money in A. Pay to 10th. Goes for 50 classes too -- the trophy for everyone thing might make the soccer moms in the crowd happy, but I want my kid to learn he has to do well to win something...what a concept! If you must, give the rest of the kids a dirt bike toy and "certificate of participation" or something (laminated or the conditions at an mx track will destroy it) -- this is coming from a guy with a kid who's in his first year in 50 sr. off the PeeWees no less and expects to be cleaning up the rear for some time to come. Now that we've dealt with that, what about this five year old bike rule in the "vintage" class?!? James PS, Wardy...Sorry about the mini dad pic, but Mike's head is so damn thick it's DOT and SNELL approved...honestly, it is. [/QUOTE]
