4 being hardest or 1 being hardest? And why so many without numbers at all? Would these be considered small time races or what?

Sounds like a difficulty rating myself... let me check and see.

it is a ranking of the event of sorts.
we have a season long rider ranking system in SoCal...but only for the events that are ranked.
the higher the ranking of the event (usaully parallels the event's difficulty) the higher the point value to the placing racers.
