[QUOTE="James980, post: 28424, member: 16990"] The off-beat classes, like the over 225# class, sound like fun, demonstrate ingenuity and shouldn't be discouraged. Even if they're one-time events, they mean more racing for the participants (likely these are guys already in another class -- I don't see anyone showing up just to race one of these things), more business for the promoter and more entertainment for the spectators (read: families). The D-Class now appears to be a completely different story. I must admit that I've never seen it run in person (although first race at Casey, I'll have my eyes open), but if, as AJ wrote, the C class is a "first year" class, then I don't see the point of a D class. Cherry picking always has run rampant in this sport, and it never will be eliminated. The districts can't be blamed for the lack of advancement if riders don't cooperate. But, as with most things, fault has to be spread around. Perhaps the D class came about because of two factors: 1) The popularity of MX increasing, attracting more low-experienced riders into the fold; 2) The districts not upping their level of advancement "encouragement" to keep pace with the influx of new riders. That the D class is run at only one track in D-17, though, testifies to what likely is solid advancement compliance, overall, in D-17. And, from what I've seen in my short experience with this district, Casey is a bit different animal. It must be. I drove down to practice in January and spent some time talking to a guy with a couple CR250s -- he had his "practice" bike in the back of his truck. His class? C. How long? Six years. Must be the truth because no one would make that up. James [/QUOTE]
