I demand an investigation into WR's sandbagging. Plus I don't think he deserves his pony.

Yeah, part of me feels this way. If I just let it go, I can race the 1/2/3 and not concern myself with points. Most races are p/1/2 with 3 and 4 separate, but sometimes there's a 1/2/3.
You promised!!!!!

Yeah. It really only tells you how well a rider stacks up against the local competition, right? It would tell you how well a rider compares to his competition, but doesn't tell you how good the competition is.

If you look at this year's National Champioship winners, there's CA, TX, OH, TN, AL, IL, etc...

Very true. The regional stuff really just doesn't matter unless you travel to races a lot.
They don't have a Cat 3 national champion, so what do I care?

That's the explanation RX has posted in the past. Makes perfect sense.

Not to worry WR, there's so much sandbagging in the Texas field that nobody will blink an eye at you. Why would you want to upgrade, anyway? I mean seriously... what's in it for you, personally?

^^^ Good question.
I think I have the talent to win a local (weekend) P/1/2 crit. I need to build power a bit more, but I think it's possible next season...
Other than that... ego? Just wanna show up to one with hairy legs?
