what's the turn around time on bcf membership and racing licence applications?
a few days dude. If you want to improve then the only way to do that is to go into Juniors (your cat.) and ride/race against people that are faster than yourself.........yeah you might not do so great to start off with, but the learning curve would be massive and you will soon be climbing up through the ranks if you stick at it. I think giving the winner of Novice a race licence instead of a prize would be spot-on plus it will encourage/make them to race in their respective cats. Hatch But talking about it on here wont solve it alone... action needs to be taken!! I dont need to take any action as I race in my proper cat...........the people who regularly race/do well in novice need to get in touch with Chris Roberts and get things sorted, all im saying is that it would be a good idea and would get rid of the "Sand baggers" that continually race in the novice Cats making it unfair for the true novices out there. side note: Hatch, saw you at chicksands, looking quick! The bike looks lovely  I'll have to bring my blender up there for a play ASAP! Cheers mate, you should have come over and said hello. Yeah the Blender Ti is pretty sweet.......im just waiting on delivery of my new Blender Steel for a play/training/hack/winter dh bike..........will have to let me know when your heading to Chicky next for a Blender session.

As of next year if i want to still race 4x im gonna have to go in 17+ novice as im having to give up work to look after my son  and won't be able to afford bc mambership and all that. I dont realy want to go in novice as paddy and fuy others will give me s**t for it. I think it would be a good idea if chris and the bc would let you race in your age cat if your fast enough, but you go with novice scoring. I.e if i won a masters race (if only) the actual points and first place would go to the guy in second, assuming that guy has membership what do you think? |

oops!!!! I didn't really wanna do that
|
could there be an on-the-day licence?
i probably won't renew my licence next year, but still want to race the 4xtracks local to me-not the whole series, though i certainly don't really want to enter novice cat and be a complete sandbagger, i appreciate that dh has a closed shop licence only entry system, but then they are pulling in easy 300 riders-plus so i suppose they can be picky, i'm not interested in downhill much but i would still do small dh races like aston, bikeparkuk etc as they can be entered easy and not be serious, it would be good if 4x could be a bit like that(i feel myself that it is like that now, just has the licence problem)
like db76 says, race your age cat and not get points maybe, its fun to race and not take it serious, if your serious then having a licence won't be a problem

. Some people want alone time before their runs to focus and prepare.
