Here also, plus they're way more smooth/skilled (except for Kelly Cup/Bikejam, which is the annual masters crash fest for some reason). Unfortunately, the #s in M30+ have dwindled in MABRA over the past few years as the guys who have typically focused more on Masters racing have started hitting 40 and the guys in their 30s seem to do more of the 1/2 thing. This has lead to most promoters either eliminating the M30 as they can add and fill another 4 or 4/5 race in its place, or combining the 30 and 40+ riders in to a separately scored race, which I hate. Although I find the M races more fun, as a 37 y.o. (racing age in 2008) C3, circumstance leaves me racing Sr. 3 most of the time.
