Well considering that my 5th place at the iic and my 4th place 07 birds shows I don't have the skill to compete with guys that have won major championship caliper drivers I will cancel my reservations for the hotel. For the future maybe make any winners instead considering top 5 mean u were on of the four who oviously don't have the skill to win so to be forced into a class u can't compete in just seems foolish. enjoy all who attened

This post is simply to petition that people like Dennis be allowed in the 17.5 class at the NEGS, for exactly the same reason the 17.5 class rules were written.
I applaud the NEGS for making the 17.5 class a pure competition between ametuer hobbyists (sp?), but the current "top 5 rule" will preclude people like Dennis from participating in a class that was designed specificaly for them! People without factory backing, people who pay for their racing program, people who are honing their considerable skill set....people who have placed well at major races against the heavy hitters with factory backing. In essence, people like Dennis are exactly the type of racers that should win the 17.5 class at the NEGS, the very class where they would be racing against people of similar means.
When the up and coming racers look for comparison between themselves and the winners of the 17.5 class at the NEGS, they should see an unsponsored, well prepared, hard charging racer with the same chance of winning as themselves. For this reason alone, perhaps the "top 5" rule is a bit simplistic and assumes too much about those who fall into this category.

Well Finishing in the top 5 at a major race and having a great attitude and showing class and doing the best you can at a race will get you farther with a possible sponsorship. Instead of crying on the internet and dogging the rules about how someone doesn't deserve to race with the fast guys because his pride gets hurt for losing. Thats a crappy way to get sponsor's to say WOW what a great attitude we need this guy on our TEAM.
Have fun staying at home and playing MARIO CART instead of racing a great series and seeing old friends.

thats bull.....
Hey Dennis,
that sucks you can't race 17.5, what a bummer!!! i know you would represent Horsham with pride and prolly give those guys a real a$$ kickin. Thats prolly why then dont want you racing, cause deep down they know you will be up there at the end of the A main
my vote; let dennis race
thats just my 2 cents

I look at it this way, no offense to anyone, but Dennis doesn't want to race against fast guys he knows he can't beat.....but....Someone not as good as Dennis might not want to run again someone who has placed in the Top 5 at Snowbirds that they know they can't beat in the 17.5 class. So who gets their way and who sits at home? I think in general people in the Top 5 at a major race probably, more often than not, belong with the fast guys. The organizers of the race presumably set a cut-off to try to make as many people happy as possible and increase entries. You can't make everyone happy I guess but I have no problem with the rule. I would love to place in the Top 5 at a major race and be forced to race 13.5.
