Re: Please Read - Additional Rookie Experts for 2007!
As I said - you can't make everyone happy. I guess I would worry more about it if I were racing next year. The plan originally was to go out and get some wood next season now that all the fast guys ahead of me got bumped. Well, it didn't work out.
Timmuh does have a point - rules are rules and should be enforced until changed. Again, I'd personally worry more about it if I were racing next year. And believe me I'd rather be racing - expert or novice, doesn't matter - than not racing! I'll miss oyu guys 'till 2008!

Quit complaining it won't change things? Wow, I thought this is was great venue to air our opinions so ALL can understand the issue and make their own judgment on this ruling. I for one, was added to this new Expert list. I feel their was a good chance I may have made the index if I had raced all 10 races. I raced 5 & podiumed 3. Again the superfluous problems are: some people on the list have no business moving to expert at this time and rules are rules(I was advised this year by CMRA on an infraction, to refer to rulebook & their would be no deviation, even though CMRA was also 50% at fault). If there is going to be a BOLD proposed change, then lets present it to all the members & get feeback & implement the change the next season. This way we can all understand what lies ahead so we can prepare for it in a timely fashion. Lastly getting bumped to Expert is quite an accomplishment to me, but under these circumstances it seems it has reduced the status of the Expert class. Especially with the definition that this change was made to promote HAPPY racers and keep Novice groups together. Discontent is the necessity of progress.
