2016 New Expert List

[Michael Snyder]

I agree with Chris... Another question for debate is to the BOD or Walter for allowing the decision it a novice back marker to be moved up to Expert. This IMO poses a danger to not only the rider but to fellow racers on the track. lets be brutally honest also... No matter how nice someone is to your face, if people feel you don't belong on the track in their group or race, they make it known. By that I mean people will buzz by you extremely close, push you wide on corner entry, and in some cases make contact with you in hopes of instilling fear in you so you get off the track.

I don't totally disagree but at the same time by that logic then we should never run experts and novices in the same race wave start or not. Aren't Experts supposed to be good enough to get around a slower rider without incident? Shouldn't us lowly ole novices be able to look up to the Experts for advice and information to make us better so we can progress? This is club racing and while there are some very talented riders that can probably do some great things in the sport in future years, the majority of us are just having fun because we can. Intentionally bumping someone to prove a point while can be harmless can also just be a d*** move. That's all

Sound like we need to make sure Barry teaches the CW crew this year to look out for intentional infractions so the new 7.2 section can be applied. I don't think anyone wants that

Just go race and pass the guy if he is slower, if you can't get around him maybe you aren't what you think you are.

On the opposite end I agree with Chris, why if you know you ain't that good but hey that's me
