I get the feeling the upgrade process is very fungible. Can you imagine some upgrade coordinator going through someones race results, opening each race to check the flier for duration, then results for field size, then the field itself in mixed-cat races to see who actually counts?
There is no way anyone is actually doing that.
I bet they open your results, see some top-10s and top-5s and say "good luck!"
If someone upgrades too soon, the biggest victim of it is the person who upgraded and can no longer compete for results.
When I knew guys who never got good results in the 4s that upgraded on pack finishes to the 3s, I was like "alright then, good luck" on the outside, and "alright then, more fodder" on the inside.
