Doesn't it seem thought that if you are a 35 year old in the hunt for

the BAR title and your main competition is a 40 year old that the older

person has an advantage? He will be eligible to ride in races that the

35 year old won't. The only reason this has any relevance is in relation

to a season long race title, not individual events per se.

I'd like to see a consistent definition of Masters age in all races. It

seems silly to have it as 35+ in some and 40+ in others. How can one

compete for the BAR if they aren't eligible to ride in some of the

races? It also seems that having Masters age cuts at 5 year intervals

in

State events dilutes the significance of a win. Why not simplify it to

Seniors, Masters and 50+ and leave it at that? For that matter, who

decided to name the Seniors, Seniors? What a mistake. Where will this

stop <g>.
