Okay, I want to bring this issue up for discussion, because it has stricken a foul nerve with me 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
