What do you do when...
You are dealing in the lower categories with 4 or 5 strong but stupid riders that have decided to form a team and menace any race they enter? These guys are totally cluless about pack handling, I mean everyone makes mistakes in cat4's but these guys seem determined to make the race dangerous. IMO it's a testiment to the other cat4's that these idiots haven't taken anyone else out.
Givens:
- I won't be upgrading anytime soon.
- Yelling at them hasn't made a noticible difference.
- Some of them are wearing freaking tennis shoes!
- They're physically pretty fit for the 4's.
- I have much better form this year and don't want to sit out the finishes just because of not being able to trust the pack with them in it.
- The 4's this year are fairly smooth otherwise.
- They don't seem to be taking the gentle hints.
- They don't seem to have anyone to mentor them.
- They don't have the benefit of having crashed yet.
Considerations:
Will a USAC official do anything about it?
Will CBR do anything about it?
Do they need a gentle intoduction to the curb? (if it was higher categories I guess that would be a given)
(ughhh) Actually talk to them? (ick) (problem here is I fear it resorting to threats.)
Thanks
