and btw , its called resort
this way it would be called class resort
But that's sandbagable too.
The only true way to do it would be to have a national database of racers. Club, big, local series, etc. Each track puts thier information in and results. That way when Johnny Sandbagger from Tx goes to Fl for a money race to race Sportsman when they enter his name it shows he's been racing pro in every other race.
This has it's own problems too though. My home track has Expert, Pro's whatever that race in open/pro classes at big races. The track down the road, however has experts and pro's that race in sportsman, or intermediate whatever you wanna call it. And they race there for a good reason too, they aren't sandbagging, it's just the level of racers that race at the track.
Money races suck anyhow. Brings out the worst in alot of people...
