The 2015 CMRA Rule Book states that Novice riders finishing in the top five (5) 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.

In seasons past, the entire top 5 list was posted for review. This caused a fair amount of confusion among those who appeared on that list and led to a large number of appeals. In an effort to avoid that confusion this year's list has been trimmed down to include those riders who are most qualified to be advanced to Expert status. This list started with the top 5 in all Novice and combined classes. Additional criteria was then applied which included individual finishes, lap times, safety records and the ratio of rider results to the number of competitors in their classes. Both the BOD and our Director of Competition believe that this final list of riders is the most deserving of advancement to Expert status for 2016.

Congratulations to all!

Please note: Any rider who feels that there were extenuating factors which contributed to their advancement may submit an appeal per the 2015 CMRA Rulebook. Appeals are to be directed to nancy@cmraracing.com. Please doo not contact Board Members or the Director of Competition directly.

Novice status riders who were not on the bump list but wish to be moved to Expert status for 2016 are encouraged to submit a request to nancy@cmraracing.com.


*To those who requested to be bumped up to Expert...way to go!
