I don't get why Forkner & Sexton etc. are 250B class riders...

Their lap times are faster then Open Pro Sport The classes ran back to back also, no smooth track for one &
rough track for the other...

They just got off 85's this year. I don't see anything wrong with it. Just the normal progression of a rider through the classes.

Wait what. That's just to dangerous jumping right from an 85 to a 250F!

its not like these kids are weekend warriors bro. This is nothing new.

I think Jett Reynolds had a faster lap on his 65 last year than half of my class in +25.

They work hard and are generally as fast or faster than A classes

There isn't I agree, but Austin Forkner is 16 Now... He running Pro Sport next year or coming out like Tomac...

Everone says it's a young man's sport... WTF...

I get it now, this is the only way Mitch Payton is going to get a win this year...Laughing Whistling Silly

Stewart and Dungey went straight from B to AMA pro class didn't they? Skinner was in C class and won a supercross soon after.

There aren't any big names in the Pro Sport classes. Usually the top prospect kids race b, and a, then get out to the National Pro Ranks.

I raced with Forkner's dad a few times. The only time I ever beat him was when he crashed.

Some of them youngins are fast, been going on for many years.

I've seen Emig, Reynard, Marley, and others on minis give many a fast guy on all sizes of big bikes all they want in "dash for cash" races.

It's not sandbagging if they are moving up.

You really dont know if the track was pulled in between motos unless you saw it was left alone on the broadcast.

It just takes minutes to do now.

I understand every class other than C class. How can any Real C rider be considered a national champion? C literally means beginner. This just causes sandbagging and a really weird ego for riders that really don't deserve it. I will never understand how there is a national championship for The beginner class. That's like having a "worlds tallest little person" award. Please tell me people agree?

That's weird because C class is the lowest rank we have in Ohio. And yeah they're fast. Obviously. So that's why they're not really C class riders.

I actually agree with this and cutting out the C class at LL's could solve some problems on the local level too. People might actually WANT to move up if racing at Loretta's was one of their goals. Right now you see people hanging around for extra years in the C class because they are going to try to get a top 5 at LL's.

Things should be structured so there is no glory in winning the beginner class. People should want to move up to B....which some do.

That's what I'm saying... They aren't really c riders so why should there be a class for it?
