If I go to a race and spectate, I'm a spectator.
If I go to a track and ride, I'm a rider.
If I sign up for a race and do my best to compete, I'm a racer. I may just be a rider next week or a spectator the week after that, but today I'm a racer.
If someone has the balls and the ability to sign up and try to qualify for a pro race then, dammit, they are a pro. Next week they may be a local fast guy, but today they're a pro.
From what I've read and been told, Rockchucker has earned that title.
Now, if someone signs up for a pro card with no intention of trying to compete at that level but tries to tell people they are, then they're a poser. Until I hear from this Micky guy himself, though, I'm not going to believe it.
