I do not understand what has happened to the track championship. I thought that the track championship was earned by one expert and one amateur based on your selective points total. This year it is broken down into separate classes with leaders in each class.
Does this mean that there is a BHF track champion for each class? If so will these championships count towards an amateur to expert bump?
Guy, check w/ Kevin Elloitt, as I thought that perhaps that program was discontinued. I could be wrong, so go to the source.

It's in the rulebook.
Yes, there is a championship for each class. Points will count towards the expert bump.

I know that the points count towards the bump, I would like to know if the track championship itself forces a bump. The rule book states that a top 5 finish in any national race and winning any class shampionship is an automatic upgrade. The rule book does not say anything about the track championship forcing a bump.
It is not that it is a big deal, I will probably go expert next year anyway, just curious

:biggrin:
I don't know how realistic it would be to land a track championship without logging enough points to be advanced to expert.
Besides, what's the incentive to stay amateur?

you are right they probably go hand in hand.
Incentive is only contingincies. It seems to be kinda hard to beat Key.
Once in a while his bike will brake down and youll beat Him- Ed Key that is, I beat him once, I think he ran out of fuel.
Speaking of points, they're updated for the midwest...

You kind of have a hand up in that you pit with him.
You can start your own stratagies to "Beat Key" list:
*Sew his gloves shut
*Ben Gay in his tattered blue bicycle pants.
*Spray fake frost on his glasses
*Have sponsor hold his "pajamas" hostage
*Replace RedBull with Mai Tais
I'm sure you can think of a few more. :biggrin:

I just figured out how to beat Ed Key, just take a hacksaw to that fuel stick he uses. An inch or so would do the trick :biggrin:

best idea ever!

Guy....
How many years have you been an amatuer now? Four? Five? Maybe more?

We did talk about that. To tell you the truth, we don't know when we'll make it out again. Right now we're in the middle of a major remodel and his bike is still in pieces.
Dawn
run over Ed's tool box! that should screw with his head for awhile........ :ahhh:
As long has the subject has come up regarding an upgrade to expert, I have a question. How many points must you accrue in order to earn your white plates? And are these adjusted points per the performance index or just straight up points? I would really like to run expert next season but am running a 1000 and can only make the BFR events. I thought I read somewhere it was 400 points. Thanks!

the top 5 positions in any class at the Race of Champions.

2.2.6 STATUS CHANGES - Riders who are changed in status during the
season will only carry 50% of their points to their new status.
A. Expert riders, who can show proof that they were not properly classified,
may move down to Amateur. A downgrade is only allowed once in a
career, unless there is a significant time lapse in participation.
B. Amateur riders who wish to be upgraded must show a history of top
finishes, particularly where Experts and Amateurs run together, as well
as a good safety record.
OOOPPs!! It's right there in the rulebook.
Thanks a lot for the help.
