if the guy or group running the event in this case jimmy babcock monitors the qualies there will be no sand bagging . He can auto bump the guys that are running fast enough to qualify in the a main of the next class up. also should just make rule that if you sand bag and then fly in the main you should get bumped to the next class up at the next event with no series points that will fix alot of the problems but in all honesty why does it matter if youre in sportman class youre learning and the experience you get running with the fast guys is good for you on the other hand the baggers or trophy hounds i call them are soing nothing but training to go slower so someday the slow boy will be faster then the fast boy running below his level . also unless you are at the top of intermidiate class you have no chance at sponsor so the prize you will win at the end of the series is going to be nothing compared to the thousands in fuel tires practice and parts just to be bumped to a class the next season where you will get smoked if have more than a booble or 2
