Message: [QUOTE="lwsmithjr, post: 543670, member: 35074"] The thing is, I agree that most C riders are better than what C was designed for. I have a 15 year old son who is about to start his second year of racing. Last year he was on an 80 and he's moving up to a 125 this year. Our intentions were to run 125 C and Youth this year and try to qualify for Loretta's next year in 125 C Stock and Mod. What has me fired up right now is that even though we keep up with series points, we are in an unrecognized AMA District (whatever that means) and if he races at all this year, he will be uneligible next year. This rule basically makes it impossible for him to qualify because it would have to be in the B class -- and he is not a B rider. Unless he triples his abilities this year, he won't be a B rider next year either. One of our local guys qualified for 125 B last year and ended up 9th in Stock and 13th in Mod. There is no one around here who can come close to staying on the track with this guy -- even ex-pros. We have some fast guys. Nikki, Julius Pleaser said you came down and raced Mill Creek last December, so you saw first hand the competition. But, compared to what runs at Loretta's each year, we have 3 or 4 guys across the board who might make it. Maybe this rule will bring the competion back down to the intended level, but it seems a lot of folks will get the short end of the stick in the process. [/QUOTE]
