I will preface this with the statement that I don't race: With the exception of 5->4 which I will give you as to get away from the beginners after the requiste number of starts...OR a win...I think you need to win to move up. What is the reason to move up if you haven't won? Just so you can say you are a Cat X? If so then you are a weenie and you don't deserve to be there. If you deserve to be a Cat 3 rather than a Cat 4 then go win a race and show me.
