Re: Please Read - Additional Rookie Experts for 2007!
Again, I hate to admit it but Timmuah has a legit beef here... I watched fur fly over Kienasty's little problem over novice/expert ranking and the BOD's stance was "Rules Are RULES, if ya don't like'em.. try and get it changed for NEXT year..." If your worried about splitting up running buddies to keep the competition close then remind everyone you can jump up whenever you want too... simply request your white plate and hang on!!! So for those who are losing thier competition... move on UP!!!
I must laugh at one more post...
Of course, your ability to get around the track safely at speed weighed in all of our recommendations. ...Kotowski...
there is a reason my family calls me "Crash"... in all honesty, i have made it to ONE race weekend that I did not crash at... JUST 1!! and I still had an off-road excursion there.. I just have learned how to race on the GRASS!!! Some weekends I went asphault surfing 2 or 3 times!!! I have 1 track I am legitamately fast at (Cresson, CCW), 1 I came in DEAD Freakin' LAST at (Cresson, CW)... and 1 I have NEVER RACED ON BEFORE... (Hallet, CCW) So lets reevaluate Safety and finishes... really... lol.

Remember the Danny Kelsey thing at the end of the year [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img] Our rule book is here for a reason! we cant just change the rules because we dont like something. :rolleyes: I think this is a good idea.However I dont feel there was enough thought put into it. How come Pierson or Tony didnt get moved up . Both of them spank my *** on a 125 and F4 [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img] Once again this was not thought threw.This sounds more like somthing that should have been put in place in 2008. After the BOD had time to think it threw. TIIIMMMMY

Re: Please Read - Additional Rookie Experts for 2007!
Hmmm, having lined up the overall rankings on a spreadsheet, I see I'm the 3rd lowest ranked of the new bumps. A lowly place indeed. I also see a fair number of people not bumped that are _way_ faster than me. So I'm pretty much lowest ranked new expert, and only "earned" that by showing up to a lot of F7 races. Man, if the new experts felt lonely last year, wait til they see me next year.
Assuming I don't take a year off and go practice at trackdays. I already only get to run 6 or 7 laps in a novice sprint before the winner laps me and finishes it. Now I'll get to run only 5 or 6 laps. Makes it _awfully_ expensive per lap. Fun can still be had, I'm sure, but 35-75 bucks for 5 laps? I'm not so sure. Someone needs to seriously compare the laptimes and actual big bike performance of some of the people they're promoting. Really _look_ at it.
Since I lined up all the new bumps on a spreadsheet with the overall novice list and index, I can see that, with very few exceptions, they just moved the index down to about .41, from the original .60. i.e. it may have been done with _some_ thought, but since all but 4 of the 20 new bumps were right in a rpw, just above the new index, it's appears there was not a lot of individual evaluation and consideration to actual skills, save maybe 3 or 4 of the cases. The line was simply drawn a lot lower than previously. 0.4 instead of 0.6, in round numbers. That is an enormous percentage difference in speed, performance, and index. I personally was lowest of the non exceptions.
I sign off in shame and bewilderment.

Re: Please Read - Additional Rookie Experts for 2007!
Absolutely nothing will be gained by griping on the message board. Nothing.
File an appeal.
Send me an email to present to the Board...plead your case on a personal level...let the Board members respond to you personally about why you got bumped. They can't respond to each of you individually on the message board.
