Are you getting bumped?

[ts199]

How about me??  MW/GP AM #199.  

I only raced with CCS one time this year and finished with one 1st and one 2nd.  

Believe it or not, I actually want to be bumped up :o

Tiff... am I getting bumped?  ???

All petition letters (or at least the creative ones) shoudl be posted next year along with the rejection reason.

I was just kidding Super Dave.  But I don't bump people for no reason.  If you have 500 points or a class championship or a top 5 finish at Daytona, you are bumped.  There is no guess work about it.  I review petitions on a case by case basis.  What you believe is fair may not be the same criteria I'm looking at.  As for that one expert, take that up with Mr. Elliott--I'm not even going down that road.

You know, the Eric Brain Transplant Fund was in operation for a while, but the Feds found out that Eric never had a brain to begin with (well, everybody knows that) so a couple of years in the pen later, here I am...kind of like that "I Love Lucy" episode where they raise money for the Women's European Relief Fund.  Only I didn't even get to go to Europe.  I just clean up Eric's drool.

Tracy: Nope, not yet
Mark: Nope, but I don't think I calculated it right

If you can't number to 7 correctly, maybe you SHOULD stay amateur.  ;)

I think I will generate my own letter...  :-X
 ;D

Tiff, does finishing top 5 in the ROC means you will get bumped NO MATTER WHAT? Just want to know. THanx

Yeah, I won't make you go there.  Or Kevin, for that matter.  I think the person will have enough to be proud about on their own.

Here's a legitimate question....

Wasn't the 500 points rule from the old points system that only paid down to like 15th or 20th place?  Does seem awfully easy to get 500 points.

Oops!!  Good point Greg.  

I was typing with only one had since my right hand is still surgically attached to my abdomen for skin graft purposes.  Guess maybe next time I should remember to safety wire my oil drain plug!!  Then I wouldn't be in this mess.

(Thanks Greg, glad you were able to pick up on it....  everything I have written on this thread was done so with tongue firmly planted in cheek! I love to try and lighten up situations where people start squirming about having to write a letter on how crappy a racer they are!)

I see you are doing your homework to stay yellow plated for life lol  :P

Hope you heal soon. I need to get a skin graft myself, the scar on my knee is getting out of hand...

[TiffineyIngram]

Dafan--YEP, if you place a top 5 at Daytona, there is no reason why you shouldn't be an expert.  Seriously, who can disagree with that.  Okay, Dave, before you answer that, given the itty bitty classes, other than those, who would argue in bumping at top 5 finish?

Wilke--At least say please or something...YEP

I heard a rumor that the Midwest experts are circulating a petition to have me bumped back to amateur... :-[
