Completely agree with you, Mike. Let me think about a solution. I forwarded

this to my good buddy, Will Hall down in Bezerkely. I bet he'll get back to

us with some bright ideas.

See you at the track,



Matthew Miner

Actually it was NOT a mistake. The officials were well aware that some of

the placed riders did not finish the race. They told me that "Jeff wants

the riders to keep their points". Personally I think that is BS

and against

the rules of racing. YMMV.



The number of people jumping back in last night was huge. I

would estimate

20 or so riders went down a lap and then came back in. Add to

that at least

2 of the riders that were listed as placing didn't even finish

the distance.



I agree that PIR is not the World Championships but either it is a race or

it is not a race. If it is not a race then we should not have placings

awarded. If placings are awarded then it is a race. If it is a race then

we should follow the racing rules. It is really an all or none situation.

If we ignore some of the rules where do we start to NOT ignore them?
