this is 2016 america, there shouldn't be points. we should just all be winners, and all get trophies and awards at the end! duh!
What he means is that's the only way he's gonna line up to race.

Haha....
The reason I say this, back in the early 00's I raced 125B. I worked saturdays and couldnt make it to malvern for the 259,000 races they had at night until the season was almost over. I raced a couple there and at that night track in Orville a couple times. Matt Cozma and myself were battling for points, I raced him a total of three times that year. Once at a night race where we battled hard and he won and 2 times at Spring valley where I beat him both races. He beat me for the season by one point because he raced 30 night races at Malvern and got big points while I won many Sunday races with 5 entries. Some people work and cant make night races and night racing is a whole different thing anyway.
But those days are gone, there arent friday night, saturday night and sunday races every weekend any more either. There were about 112 races those years each season if I remember right and your best 35 counted. IMO it should have been separate. Different era now, but if your best 15 count and you can run 11 night races the same situation could arise for someone else. It seems to me for an overall award you ought to be racing the same riders for the most part. Im not bitching so please dont take it that way!!!!! Im not chasing points, I just was voicing an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.
Regardless Im looking forward to some full gates and fun racing this season, lets get this party started!
Not to interrupt the Hersherade.....BUT thats why we do the 15 best. Its a compromise from the guys who run every single race and the guys who want the select events with fuller gates. A more level playing field for all. A racer who can only race Saturday nights has a chance, a racer who can only race some sundays has a chance.
BTW did you catch the end of the slide show???
