    Re: Head Count

    Race Cert doesnt expire... but they used to have a rule if you were not active for a while, that you may need to re-cert..... Im sure the rule book has that one in it and easy to find.

    The Sat sched... granted is harder for those who work on Sat.. but in the long run is better for the masses.... It helps eliminate excessive tire changes from Dot's to Slicks and back again...... Helps get us on our way home earlier from that nice 7hr drive back from Hastings..., and when its a crash fest day...... and for those who race only SS or SB classes...(Mostly) get to only come on the day their races take place... Heck a SS rider can come on Sat and be home by dinner time and still have a weekend left... Overall, the minor amount of folks it may create a schedule conflict for (which Im sure can be worked out since it was out months ahead of time) will pail in comparrison to the folks it will help out...... But the nice part is the MRA is always looking to make things work better for everyone... If the new plan works.. great... If not, Im sure they will make changes accordingly.... Personally I cant be more happy about it..

    Re: Head Count

    I Understand , Dion..Im just pissin and moanin. It will light a fire under my ass to become expert, but Im way far away from that. I just still havnt decided if its worth it to race with you guys for ONE race on Sunday in AM U, in the Waaay back. I understand you gotta run with faster types to get faster yourself, But Im a first year Novice that wants to see where Im at with other Novies.
    I just dont know how much entry fees the MRA will lose from people that work Saturdays, but it could be a lot. My buddy who wants to race works saturdays as a therapist, his big earning day.
    I totally agree about that long ass drive home from Hastings could be shortened! I also understand the concept better suits all the tire changes you gotta do between classes. Hell, I just use one set! Pretty easy when your slow to make em last!

    Either way, I had a blast with you guys last year, and Im gonna make it work.

    Spicee, I as well was a first year novice last year. Like you stated, I started in the back of AM U and by the last race, I got the hole shot, and held third till the last lap, and got 4th. So there is hope. You just have to keep your head down and ride! I didn't learn anything in novice, it all came from middleweight endurance and AM O and U and all the expert riders who I talked to. At first I didn't want to run AM O because I would be at the back but again, as the races go by, you get faster and run with faster people. I'm just blabbing now but I guess all I'm saying is do AM U if you can't do NOV U, you will learn more than you ever could have imagined....
