I just saw this post.

CAN YOU SHOW ME WHERE I BLAMED OTHER RACERS BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET IN???

At no time did I blame other racers because I didn't get in.

My point was simply this:

If you have a guaranteed entry into the race,as a courtesy,you could wait just a few weeks since the race is still several weeks away.Once the quota hit 56,nobody else can get in even if it drops back to 55.

It's like this.If you are at a stoplight and somebody wants to exit a gas station,you have two choices.You could be a nice guy and let them in,or you could be an A hole and let them wait all day.You would obviously not let the guy in.

Darrell you just did Blame a racer again… if you were sitting on 7 grade points I would feel you. How many weeks away were you?

Look I agree that it shouldn’t have to be that way. The quotas are low in some areas lower than they should be, but everyone knew that last year this year etc. it should not be a surprise

Grade 7 and I just got back from a 1200 mile round trip to assure I will have 8 next year.

(Not that it will make a difference,because I know of Grade 8 people that didn't get in either)
