I am 35 and only have been riding a two years. I have done 1 HPGPC race and a few TORO races and got dead last every time. (I suck, LOL)

Which of these two classes would be for me. I won't be a first time racer but my skill level will be right in there.

thanks
Jason

Question, Did you have fun?
Statement, You are fibbing, I looked. you did not get last place in the Denton race.
Next, you do not suck or you would have clung to the guy that passed you. LOL
My Opinion and Mine Only, to ride TORO, you have to be very good. If you want to get good fast Ride TORO. You will find Curtis's tracks not quite as difficult.

If I were you I would start out in the new Novice class and be prepared to move up to the over 30 class shortly.

I think Curtis was trying to make a TRUE beginner class for big bikes. You have been riding for a while so I would think you would need to go amateur But like Todd said you can start out in it but I would be prepared to be moved up. I think he's going to keep a close eye on that class or I hope so anyway.
