Lets get rid of Kelchers silly program of deciding the novices.

Lets go back to the top 5 or 10(whatever) in EVERY class getting bumped.

Doh! But I can't handle the PRESSURE, Norm.

Plus, I never won a Novice Championship.

Oh yea, I'm also old and fat.

Can I have an old and fat only class to race in.

Don't forget the Ugly class too.

I could win the Fat and Ugly Heavyweight class. (maybe)

Thanks for the advice Frank.
Now I feel bad for feeling bad about myself. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
Fwiw, I'm not aiming for self deprecation so much as stating an honest self eval and facts.

No worries. Seriously, I'm still having fun.
While it was more than a bit sobering to review my SV results (I'd been quite happy, apparently over-focusing on the mini stuff and improvement there) I'm not really down. I just know where I stand right now, which factually, is pretty far down the pecking order, as pertains to laptimes and finishes. No biggie. I'm neither down nor up about it. It is what it is, and one day, it will likely be better. I happen to think that it will be better sooner if I'm riding around a group of peers, or people a moderate amount faster than me. I very much appreciate, and believe the advice many experts have posted (thanks all), that riding around with faster experts can make you faster. But it seems to me you have to be riding around with them, to be riding around with them, if you'll excuse the MickeyMantle-ism. Since I'm most often way back by myself even in the novices, it stands to reason I can only be back still further in the expert ranks. That precludes the idea of improvement by proximity. Make sense? Anyway, I'm not trying to whine, or be all Mr. Downer. Just stating where I feel I belong, and why. I sent the board a letter on it and they'll decide and I'll abide. Simple as that. Thanks for the words at any rate.
