rule changes

Cass, Bill

I usually don't get into this but,......................This is a rather

silly argument. Being in the younger age bracket, I have no problem with

someone from an older agegroup handing me my butt in a sling. If I am that

worried getting whooped I should train more. If someone older wants to race

in a younger, more competitive category....Have at it. If they win a

championship....More power to them. These are the silly rules that keep

groups from being more competitive and faster. If Chuck Jarabek or Hank

Pfiefle showed up and wanted to race against us again we could whine all the

way to second place. Someone who trains hard and wants to race hard

shouldn't be restricted by being too old to compete. I can think of a single

speed guru in Oregon that is still in the habit of taking on the Senior

II's. It is like telling a junior they cannot race with seniors because they

might beat them. Once you get beyond our Oregon shores riders like that need

that experience and competitive training. It is about raising the level of

competition not taking away a precious medal because someone older than you

is faster. Let them race.

I think they should be able to ride down, but not be eligible for medals.

I agree with Steve....



Wouldn't that be the same as a 30+ category?
