It is suggested that I am sandbagging the expert class.  How do you sandbag the expert class at age 42? Anyway to be fair (and so I can sleep) I submitted a request for upgrade this morning.  Let's see what the regional official thinks. Cant a guy just enjoy a great effort in peace?

Bill At age 42, racing

Bill At age 42, racing Expert, you are not a sandbagger. On the otherhand, when you are beating guys consistantly by 5 to 10 min. in your field, seems like you are not challenging your potential. Looking at your times over the past two seasons, you are placing ahead or right with regional and world champions. With the likes of Micheal Tobin age 45, Dave Harrsion age 43, Jon gould age 42. these guys ride Pro or Semi-pro and represent the 40 year olds on the world stage. I have not looked at your racing resume or athletic background, but it seems like a no brainer for you to race in the Semi-Pro field. Congratulations on your national calendar Coyote win! D.
