If you're an am, it was a mistake.  You're supposed to send the check back.

I thought you were serious but I didn't want to ask and look like an idiot . So is there any plan to change this for next year? Again, forgive me for not wanting to read through all of the bs to figure it out.

Sorry man! :)

I doubt they change it for next year, but I think they are probably too busy running the series right now to worry about this.

I think they usually have a rules change time period towards the end of the year where people can suggest changes and they will publish it.

All of you where AM before, it'd not like you where born an expert.

Nobody has claimed to be, so far as I know.  I'm not sure where people are getting the impression that fast Experts think that Amateurs are "nobodies" - in my experience, not one of them has ever behaved that way towards me or anyone I know who is also slow.  I'm a very slow Amateur still, and the fast Experts that I know are very friendly and willing to help people learn.

Once and for all, please stop confusing anybody's exception to Amateur UNL GP payouts with the notion that they somehow look down their noses at Amateurs.  That's not really the case.  I won't rehash the arguments of the previous 10 pages, but obviously people are making value judgments about other people without having taken the time to read their arguments, simply because they disagree with their conclusions, and that's not right.

Try reading their positions before making an assumption about their character and insulting them.

Good post Mark.
Gus.. READ the 10 pages.. then get back to us. Most of your questions have been discussed and explained in the thread. On average, rider to rider, experts spend way more than am riders.

hey greg, well i did read most of the 10 pages and no were in there really read the difference between an expert or amateur.
i would say it depends on the rider bc i bet money that i spend more money that some experts and i know some other amateurs that do too.
so if you can please go into detail on what you guys mean that an expert spends more money than a amateur does.
and by no means im trying to pick a fight just trying to really see the difference.

As Melk-Man pointed out, your questions have been discussed in the previous 9 pages and this page of this post, so I won't go in to detail, but people generally accept as a fact that in order to be competitive (read: Podiums) in the Expert class, let alone to win a championship, a rider must invest more money in equipment, preparation, racing activities, etc, than does a rider who seeks to achieve the same results in Amateur events.

you have said nothing in this post sorry.
couple of things, bc i cant affort a second bike does not mean an expert spends more money than a amateur. then you can not include things like trailer, personal expenses(hotel, food or anything like that)
why do i say that well because just like an expert a amteur has to spend on those things.
so becuase there is an expert that has a trailer and i dont, that does not mean that he spends more money than i do.
i can keep on going with examples but it makes no sence if no one is willing to be open minded.
