[QUOTE="yamadogyz, post: 92181, member: 377"] 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.
