UPDATED! Novice to Expert Promotions

[Walter Walker]

Applications for advancement to Expert status for the 2020 race season are now being accepted.

Section 1.2 Rider Classification

Novice riders finishing in the top three (3) in final season point standings in all CMRA Novice and Combined (no Expert/Novice differentiation) sprint classes will be considered for promotion to Expert status at the end of the racing season. The CMRA Director of Competition and the Board of Directors will review the number of Novice riders to be advanced each season, and may use additional criteria to determine advancement. Additional criteria may include individual finishes, lap times, safety record and the ratio of rider results to the number of riders, among others.
Novice riders may apply for advancement to Expert status by submitting a written request to the CMRA office, which may or may not be allowed pending review of the rider’s performance and finishes by the CMRA Director of Competition and the Board of Directors. Novice riders who exhibit Expert level skills and levels of performance may be asked to voluntarily be promoted to Expert in mid-season.

As started above all Novice riders finishing in the top three in points in all Novice and combined Novice/Expert classes will be at the top of the list for promotion to Expert status. That being said all applications will be considered.

Sandbagging will not be permitted.

Applicants must include their reasons for seeking advancement and data to support the request (race results).
