Sandbagging

Okay, I want to bring this issue up for discussion, because it has stricken a foul nerve with me :rant: If you already haven't heard my heinous facebook post, I'm enraged. We have all heard of people intruding on racing classes set for a lower skilled rider just so they can win trophies and feel special but it's come to a flat out level of distrust and cheating. Yesterday I attended the Malvern Racing season opener competing in 250C and schoolboy. Of corse there are the typically sandbaggers in C with almost 60 riders, but schoolboy made me want to puke. There were 28 riders, and about half the portion I knew were overage for the class. The rule book clearly states that the age you are Jan 1st is the age you are permitted to remain for the entire race season in this case 12-15. I singled out 2 riders (one from my school) that have been 16 since last year, and a few riders from facebook and the local tracks known to be 17. This infuriates me, as I would rather take 14/24 in a class I am suited for than get 1st in one I'm not. I am HIGHLY debating whether or not I should write a protest now or wait to see if they stick in the class. I'd like other opinions of you all :noidea:
 
But the point is to win.... :devil: Don't fret it man! Its the norm these days, and you just got to be better, put in more time, and training, and you will pass them. If they don't even want to work hard enough to move up, they are lazy, and you will surpass them some day!

:thumb: I'm just pissed they are cheating, then flat out lying about it. That makes us all look bad! Makes the other guys look slow and the faster fair guys look like cheaters. You did make a good point
 
I'd say f it and turn em in. I've been out of the game for a few years and am getting back into it again and I know I want nothing to do with cheaters. I've barely been on my bike for years now and I'm goin straight to 450 b. I'll get smoked for a better part of this year haha but I'd rather push myself to get back up there (on my 2stroke 250) than CHEAT.


THE POINT IS NOT TO SIMPLY WIN. THE POINT IS TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE AND WIN WHILE DOING IT :wink:

Do you like 450 better or dose your organization not allow 250 2ts in 450?
