Understand that, just showing the only rule that I could find on it.
But if you do not have to race the championship race because of injury or other valid absence to receive a state ranking, than why can’t someone who crashes in practice be giving the same lenience?
i can vouge for brett … he fell in practice tore up his hand i was there when he was being treated by the pottstown tracks medic( sorry i forgot her name) kathy k was sitting there also… as i asked if he needed help and she got her medic bag out and was cleaning his wound. he couldnt race as he had the injury. if he was on the moto sheets and already registered it is not the same as registering and not showing up at all….. he should be given last place (or at least last place +2??) im sure our state clerk could check with the nbl office to see if an exception can be made?? its not like he wasnt qualified or anything right?
Given the circustances, he definitely fits the standard for the rule. I’m sure at the time of the injury he didn’t have the plate on his mind.
It would be nice for Brett, as he used to annoucne, and has been along time NBL rider
It is a big deal, and here is why, the younger riders look up to people, (older, faster riders, in BMX), now if they see someone they want to emeulate, it keeps them interested. Now Brett raced enough of the series that he qulaified, he was one of the people lining up on the gate, in a race that generally had all the riders attention. Now no plate because of an accident, at which point I don’t think the plate was on his mind. However earlier in the day they awarded Greg Morgan a plaque for all of his BMX accomplishments, most of which were when he was 13-17. So how is it that a guy races a series, has a crash, and can’t get anything, but something you do 8 years ago will get you something? Something to think about.
