Why!!!!!!

[05R6]

They made me go expert  :'(.......

One year of racing and i will be in the mix with those SUPER FAST GUYS............woohoo....

Perhaps it will turn out better than you think.

Beacause with CCS double points and twin sprints weekends, it doesnt take a whole lot to meet the 750 point criteria.  Protest it if you dont feel comfortable.  Did you have good finishes?  Championships?

[05R6]

I had decent finishes i guess...

I only won 1 race all year long...

Overall Class Points:
4th in MW SS
15th in MW SB
3rd in HW SS
49th in HW SB
Classes i mainly ran in.
I did 1 race here and there in a few other classes.

Overall Points:
18th

I guess i shouldn't have done so many races.

Those sound like pretty decent results to me.

Uh...  BTW.  Just how many races would you expect you should win before you'd have been bumped up?

[Super Dave]

I never won a race as an amateur...well, we were novices then.

Me neither...  The 1st race I won was as an expert...  And FWIW, I did better as an expert than I expected...

[towelie]

yeah, same situation here too. Did too many race and accumulated points. Unintentionally bought my way to become EX...

you can write a letter requesting to stay AM. In my case, I got denied from another org (WERA) to stay AM so I'll have to go EX for CCS.

I've been hearing myths that "you'll shave few seconds off your lap time just by becoming expert"

It has to do with confidence in your fellow racers.

As a first year expert you can trust the other guys to be better, hopefully safer racers and your confidence level goes up each time you're on the track.

You will go faster if you have the confidence in yourself and trust your fellow racers. It's much easier to go deeper into a corner or make a pass on someone if you have the confidence they are not a new racer, fresh out of school, and are going to take your arse out with some stupid move. ;D ;D

Not saying all new racers are stupid, not at all, but c'mon, we've all seen enough weird crap from newbies that you know what I'm talking about.
