This appears to be a list of all the 40+ B riders across the states and their points totals. I didn't even know they did this kind of comparison.
Anybody know what this list is used for, other than just being a list?

And is anybody else here on it? I am number 12. I raced a lot more than 4 events, though:

Looks like I raced your bro.
He beat me by three positions at the Budds LL qualifier in 35+.
But I beat him by six positions in 40+! That was the day I finished one spot out of qualifying.

I am close to getting punted up to A also.

How does that work? I do not see most of the 40B guys around here that run up front anywhere in that list and they race AMA events.

The AMA system is a mystery to me. A guy that finished first in the Senior B series in (12 races) is way behind me on that list. I only beat him a couple times this year.


It might have something to do with whether your tracks report to the AMA or not.


The advancement points are done by dividing your total points by the number of points paying events you raced. 15 points and you move up to A.

Those things are usually way wrong anyway... I checked mine once and it said I got 2nd one race when I actually got 6th and then it said I got 13th another when I actually got 3rd lol.

way off. says i raced 1 time and got 1 point. i didn't race as much as usual this year. late start due to injury and early end due to another injury, maybe 20 times or so but not 1 like it says.

yeah, I think he told me he crashed or something in one of the 40+ moto's.

And yes, I think this means they are looking at advancing some 40+ B riders, although they don't seem to have all the results from some tracks.

Maybe the tracks decided not to send them in and said 'screw it' because of the fiasco with advancements last year?

You mean people actually care about vet class racing?

They had me for 1 event when I raced about 15 times.
Hey Moto East Mag I hope to see you at Budd's a couple of times in Nov.
