Thank you ladies for your hard work!

Quick question, how does one go from winning in the beginner class on a consistent basis to being 25 seconds a lap slower than 1st place in the Novice class?  I mean holy shit.  I didn't get bumped, I chose to move up as I don't really feel that I'm a beginner.  I don't like to be the guy to complain, I just need some advice here because I'm getting a bit discouraged as I'm riding by myself and with the national coming up I'm not sure what I'm in store for. 

I am riding a little slower I feel because I had a nasty crash at Milestone on Dec 27th and broke some ribs and knocked myself out, plus I'm on a new bike but I don't feel like I'm that much slower.

This is a question for the Race Director, but if you look at the 2 fastest riders in your class one was a one day rider and the other a first eval rider. Clearly the one day rider was in the wrong class and the eval has another race to go before he is placed in the correct class.

Steve, you are in the correct class.  831 ran Expert lap times and IMO is in the wrong class.  Everything shakes out eventually. 

See you at Cal City! 

Don't worry Steve it's happening in the 45 Novice class too, bunch of yahoos sandbagging for a plastic trophy or nice wooden plaque.

  Another thing to look at is that some riders have they're favorite track so they will ride better and more comfortable than other tracks.

If someone is running away in their class more then one race  let the race director know also check their times against the next higher class transponders don't lie  😮

There's a lot to throw into the equation, that's why we have a Race Director.

Wait for it, Wait for It!!

Well let me speak for the new guys here.  Im new to the board and new to OTHG.  I absolutely loved riding with this group, I truly had an enjoyable day.  I had no idea where to place myself with this group.  Im pretty sure thats why they eval us coming in.  Ive race with other groups and thats where there is some serious sandbagging going on.  I raced the 38 Novice.  Im 42, a lot slower then i used to be and a whole lot more out of shape.  I think I finished 4th or 5th in 38 Novice.  So I think Im in the right class.  Ill be the first to bump myself if I feel I need to move up.  But I had some good battles with some good riders.  Trophies are cool, but Im just a guy who loves to ride and meet new people with the same passion.  So for the guys that came in and smoked their class, give them a race to figure it out.  Im sure most have the integrity to move up, they just didnt know where to put themselves.  Well thats my two cents for what its worth.  Again, I had a blast, thanks to OTHG for giving us old guys a safe fun place to race.  Take care, see you at the track.

I agree Mark #464  I had a blast and I am sure that the Evals will be put in the correct position and class as the race director will be looking and evaluating. 
I had so much fun trying to be competitive with you and Dennis #522!!!  I love being able to push myself a little rather than just going out and riding without having some competition.  Thanks for picking 38 Novice and I look forward to racing with you for some time to come. 
I too come out to ride and enjoy the friendships that come along the way! ;D
