Kevin, in regards your comment, "Well i believe if you are not winning your class every weekend then you should not have to move up," that is the same logic a lot of riders use to stay in a class, but I don't think it is correct, and here is why:

If David Knight, Destry Abbott, and Mike Lafferty all raced in the Torn Amateur class, and Knighter took first every race, would Abbott & Lafferty be in the correct class? That is an extreme example, but if your lap times are faster than several intermediate and even experts in your age group, it doesn't matter if you take first or fifth, you are in the wrong class. And if you are fifth, you do the right thing no matter what 1st - 4th do. My opinion.
