Can you register for a race that is for a higher Cat and then you are now if you plan on being/will be/forced to be that Cat when the race starts?

For example, if you're a Cat 5 now but know you'll have the 10 races for Cat 4 mid-season or you're a Cat 4 now with just a few points shy of Cat 3, etc.

Thx.

Nope. Register as your correct category. When you get your upgrade, inform the race organizer and they will bump you up into the proper category. I was issued a letter mid-season last year, instead of a new license. I just showed that at the races I went to.
