Yes, that was us. 😉 I wasn’t planning on bringing JD as I did not think he would have a class. I am going to call home and let him know Kyle is going to be there and see if he wants to go. Since he has met Kyle and they were riding together he will probably want to go.

Loren, your son sounds like mine. He is 6 Novice also. Whats his name? My son is JD Guilbault. He walked through 5 & under Rookie in 8 weeks (only 8 move ups in ABA). He then raced the rest of the year against 8 and 9 year olds. On the national level he still didn’t have a class. He finished nat #3 never having raced a kid his own age so he automatically got 1st moto points but never made a main. Really screwed him up a little.

CWCC, you can not guage them by how they do at the nationals. That is the whole point of this thread. The National Rookies are at a National Novice level. They just aren’t moving up. Not knocking you, as I understand what you are saying. No one is moving, the skill in the classes are shifting downwards.

Bill, I do have to say one thing bad about the ABA. I have seen a ton of sandbagging over the Redline Cup and ROC plates.

It will not happen. Someone in his age/class would have to request an audit.

Hmmmmm…………………

Anthony, aren’t in that class?

I do not think it will do much other than get him moved up to Novice. No loss of points etc.

I caught a kid racing Intermediate ABA and winning yet he was racing Rookie at the NBL nationals to get cheap wins. I turned him in to the NBL and they moved him up to Novice but did not take any of his points away. He was also being used on a Team NBL National team (who was raking in a fair amount of money) as a for sure win at the nationals. They also had a bunch of kids who had finished #2 Rookie the year before still racing the Rookie classes as easy wins also. They were turning in team sheets with higher points than the factory national teams.

They got the money yanked from them and lost their team points though.

Now they have reduced the information on their website as much as they can to keep me from finding out what they are up to. It just makes me work a little harder. 😉

These are just the races I found on the net.

National and Regional wins are 2 move up points.

15 points and you get moved to the next class.

I’m glad someone at the home office is keeping an eye on moveups.

That actually sounds pretty good. I better pad up first as I am getting old. 😆

Dave, they were from PA thank you very much. 😉 Kind of like that Ciancio guy.

Brad Slifer (NBL #128282) , I remember him. I raced him my first year and he got state #1 and I got #2 in DE for Novice. I moved up, he stayed. His younger brother was Barry (NBL #131478). Sounds like he was just like his older brother.

LMAO! Go Dave!

I just bought a 87 Dodge 4X4 Pick’em up with a 318 and 750 double pumper. I plan on burning all the gas I can just to be different.

[LeadSled1]

How about Brett “DOH” Middaugh.

[LeadSled1]

Dude, gotta locate them first. After the move and everything it will be tough. When I do find them you can have them. Bro deal.

[LeadSled1]

Simple, “how high can you bunny hop? You’ll either have to bunny hop over that equipment or the foot I am about to shove up your ass.”

Easy question.

[LeadSled1]

I have a buttload of EHT video, but no Howell stuff that I can remember.

Looks like he has Loffredo as the new pilot.

The guys paving the driveway today said they need a spot out our way to dump clean fill dirt they have left over when they do jobs out there. 😉
