I don't think it's experience. It's just the match that I burn during a race has gotten a bit longer. I am tired of stupid ass people in the race. Thank God I can get out of Cat5 after Vernon Hills and Villa Park. Not that Cat4 is any better.

I heard most of it was individual crashes at the hairpin hahaha. At least in Cat4 you won't have fat assholes in t shirts going crazy for 3 laps and then disappearing off the back. Tired of fat muffuckas.

From watching the Cat 1/2 race and the pros, the problem I see with Cat 5 besides a lot of nervous assholes is too many people thinking they're going to make up positions in the corners. With the real racers, they pretty much take all the corners 2 wide at speed instead of all the bottle necking that happens with us. I think the blame lies with of course the nervous assholes but also the guys up front who almost always slow the pace way down 100 meters or so before the corners. So the cure for this is to pull and control the pace. Easier said then done. This is why motorcycle racing is so awesome. You go as fast as you can and usually left with ****** you trust week in week out and battle it out.

Yeah the problem was when the pace let up and everybody swarmed the corners on the outside trying to get back to a front position dive bombing the corners. Peeps in the middle have no option to move, and the ****** on the outside and inside think they can just move people over and they will be left some room, yet everybody knows 10 people can't get through there side by side and they still try. Buncha fools. I'm guessing the faster classes have less crashes because the pace stays high. With us, when the pace was high, everybody was just tapped trying to stay with the front wheel and no swarming effect was going on. I knew to stay on the outside in case that was happening, which is probably why I didn't crash. Plus my outstanding ninja like bike handing skillz.

I was playing it safe and when the paceline eased up and the swarming was about to happen, I scooted up the inside as a preswarmer and hugged the inside line directly next to somebody so they saw that I was there and didn't overlap wheels. Good part was safety, bad part was that you couldn't carry any corner speed and had a huge accordion effect to overcome. In a perfect world, I'd like to be 2nd spot in the paceline. :laughing:
***** I been applying to be moved up for like 5 years and now that they changed that stupid ass rule I moved up to 4 and hopefully they move me up to 3 next year. No sandbagging going on here, I just happen to be somewhat fast for where I'm at. :laughing:
