Last year I ran the 60 Experts and listed the move ups but it wasn’t really necessary because they know where they belong and they rode accordingly.  I also said I would do the 60 Amateurs this year because they rode 5 motos this year for the first time.    I did run the 60 Amateurs and the 60 Experts and came up with the same conclusions.  Just because the 60 experts and 60 amateurs ride so many races doesn’t mean they need to move up to the higher class.  They are competitive in the class they are comfortable riding in and at 60 years old they have earned the right to ride where they feel competitive. 
The subject has been discussed between the chapter reps and that is where I have come up with the conclusions above.  

Now my opinion, (and I get to do this because I am writing this) if a rider is 60 years old and still competing, whatever the class, he/she is still the most fantastic person to be around!!!!!!
That is the main reason YOU ALL are my passion.  You are wonderful to be around.

Hopefully you will let me continue to be part of this wonderful group of people!

My lap top computer screen went black so I couldn’t use it anymore.  Had to replace it.   I mentioned it to one of our Oldtimers and he immediately gave me $500 of his personal $$$$ to buy my new lap top.  THANK YOU CHARLES!
