In the 4-6 year old ebike class my kid raced this year, there was a girl right up near the top in the some of the motos, like 5th place or so. So don’t really see the need for a lot of girl classes, If they are fast, they should have no problem making it. Outside of the height issues like you mentioned....
I ran my first moto, then a consi and 10 minutes later my second moto. I was smoked. Went 20-29-20. Crashed my brains out in moto 2 just battling with some other guy down a g out. He cartwheeled into me. It’s intense. Am I complaining? No I felt alive again getting walloped into the ground. Call me wierd. The gates were full and I was actually racing with guys all around me. I can’t get that locally. Maybe get a good battle with one guy. Not 10. Best racing I get all year. Plus, I had just gotten off an active duty mobilization two weeks before the regional and decided to take a crack at it. There’s no need for a vet 30 c class.
People that complain about former pros, yea they’re former. Where else they supposed to race ?

It’s an amatuer National for a reason.
Also, when you turn 40. It doesn’t get any easier. Because everyone else turns 40 right alongside you. Guys that continue to race at this level don’t just disappear at certain age increments.
it's 30, 40 or 50 there should be a vet pro class. This crap of no longer being pro is garbage. Once a pro always a pro. You still have that skill set. That's like saying the day you quit any job you no longer have that skill to do that job 5 years from now. It's not about winning a title it's about those pros taking gate spots from guys who should have a shot to even be there. Chances are for me I wouldn't even qualify if they did kick the pros out but it's the same thing it has been for years. Lots of vet guys don't even consider trying, good riders that if those pros were out they would get to go and have that experience with their family. It's not about a title it's about just being there and having a fair shot at a chance of being there.
Seems like they would get a lot more coin chalked up as the guys with money at the track are usually the vets who work in the week. Why not give them a class 🤷🏼♂️
In the late 90s/early 00s it wasn't too hard to get a pro license. Basically just needed an A district card and a letter from a district rep. I had a SM Pro Card for a year - does that mean I should be ineligible for LL? What about B riders that did a Pro race in Canada? Where do you draw the line?
They tried the 30 B/C class for a lot of years, but it was impossible to police as people would lobby to drop down from A. MX Sports has the Vault where they can guarantee who has scored a point. Trying to weed out everyone that might have ever had a pro card is a near impossible task.
I dont expect to change your mind as I know a lot of folks with a similar thought process. I just really thought what they have done here for 21 with the extra classes for the Regional would have appeased some of the louder critics.
I have had conversations with the powers that be over this particular class since I have friends that have girls that would fall into this class. The simple answer is there isn't the number of entries to warrant adding that class to the national program.
Pit Row
No one said Lorettas was the race for everyone. It’s a race for the fastest people in the Ammy ranks. If you don’t fit into that, then start practicing or show up to Glen Helen for the vet Championships where they break every class down by age and speed.
Only thing you’re saying is you can’t qualify like some or the other vet riders. There is a reason why the went from b/c to sportsman. Maybe if you put the work in before 30 you could have made it? Idk try harder man. You act like just bc someone raced pro they were a factory all star that made it. What if a dude never raced pro but could still clean house on those guys? If your need an award that bad I’ll buy you one.
Wrong answer.
He was referring to the mans wife.
I raced a guy who is damn good that has made 29 outdoors. I’ve never made one, not even into program. You don’t see me complaining about the guy. I actually liked racing with him. He never won LL and got beat every moto by people who have never qualified for an outdoor. Keep crying yourself a river about how hard a vet class is for you. There is always a winner and always a loser. Remember that.
20 MADE MONEY racing.....? This is News to me.
