It seems like there are always tradeoffs. I was the one who petitioned to have the 30+4/5. We loved it when it was there 2 years ago and greatly missed it last year. The ICA was dead set on combining the the 40+ and 50+ as it was. That one was DOA. Having sniffed each other's asses in plenty of 30+ 4/5 racing you know as well as I do it's the largest demographic coming into the sport and much friendlier for newer, older racers than a straight up 4, 5 or Open Masters. That combined with needing to break out some women's races.....

Totally understand your point though. I think we just need to make every race a 2 day deal .

...actually it just sound like you need to upgrade....
