This was all a miss understanding. I talked to Brad and he called that
person up.

Please be aware that call ups are something that the Cross Crusade
invented. In the bad old days riders would line up up to an hour ahead of
time and it was a real mess. The Crusaders came up with their system and
other races have followed suit. It is not a right, it is something the race
organizer does and they can do it any damn way they please.

Lighten up

I don't know who got called up, since I didn't do the SS race yesterday.
But...integrity? Seriously? Come on, dude.

And since when did the SS race get so up tight? I did it Saturday and then
took it down a notch in the A race Sunday.

Someone (you know who you are) got an undeserved call up in SS. We all
noticed. It's nice to know you can randomly pick and choose rules as you
please. As for the racer, you know better and need to sit in the field and
earn your spot just like the rest of us. Name/reputation or not.
