[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 446180, member: 16119"] First of all... DirtWeek MX races are primarily held to give folks a chance to race MX that normally wouldn't do it. There is no purse, the plaques/trophies suck... it's all for grins. We don't want to lose sight of that. See below. After the week of riding at Cooperland, you should have a good idea where you fit. [b]C Class[/b]: If you've never raced, don't practice much (MX), C class is for you. If you don't spend much time on a MX track. The C class is for those that would not normally race MX. If you know you'll roll nearly everything, you are a C rider. If we see someone out there doing 100' tables in the C class, they'll be flagged-off. If you are not used to being bar-to-bar with 30 or so others, C class. If you have no idea what to do when the gate drops, :confused: [b]B class[/b]: Pretty simple, if you race more than a couple times per year in real events, that puts you in the B class. If you've never actually raced but are really comfortable on the track; ie; you practice a lot, you are B class. If you were in the top 10 in the DW C class last year, you need to consider moving to the B class this year. If you were top 3 last year, you WILL move to the B class this year. If you are a fast Woods rider and aren't afraid of tabletops, B class. If you hit everything but the really big stuff, you are a B rider. [b]A class[/b] : You are fast in your district, "A" rider, you race often. You are a fast practice rider and the thought of the pro riders closing fast doesn't bother you... , if you normally clear everything on the track. If you are void of pucker factor when looking at a 75 foot triple, you are an A rider. The goal here is to have a good time with rider's of similar speed. We want riders of similar skill/speed on the track together. We do not want newer/slower riders on the track with someone who clears all the jumps... we want to reduce the closeure rate! Again, it's just about having a good time. [/QUOTE]
