Yes. They are a beginner in that class. Just because a kid at 14 is fast doesn’t mean he can’t race that class. It might seem unfair but going from an 85 to 250f would make you a amateur in that class. Moving from 50jr to 50sr is a jump. 65jr to 65sr. Maybe we should look at the word amateur and call it what it is. Alessi isn’t an amateur. He is a professional racer. Weather he is racing as a career on the national level or not, he is still a professional racer. He shouldn’t be allowed to race Loretta’s. Same goes for Reed, Brown, Carsten etc. They aren’t amateur riders.So do you think a kid that's rode 50s, 65's and 85's is a beginner? And should they be eligible to race C class? This is where I think the rule needs changes. A 3 on your AMA card and you're a B rider.
