If your buddy is a Intermediate mxer and is winning his class He would do well in the A class. Torcs has nothing to do with the AMA from what I read so he should be fine. IF he races the B class, He will probably smoke the class unless he is a slow intermediate mxer. The cool thing is here is that there will be a good mix of riders from different diciplines. I know I can get smoked by an MXer for the first 30 mins but the race is 70 and I can usually ride longer faster that most MX riders with my same ability. That is unless he's sandbagging.
You know, your right Ken but, we know whats going to happen. The faster intermediate rider will
start off in the "C" classes until there told to move. Very few start where they should.
One thing I thought of the other day to help with this is to give 100% of their points for moving
down and 75% of their points for moving up and 50% for being told to move.
The way I see it is, if one starts in a faster class and can't hang with them and is approved to move
back a class he should get all the points he got just for trying that faster class.
