Rick, yes you would be a c grader according to the system. Keep in mind Pcra only did 10 races or something the whole year over 4 race meetings, so a line has to be drawn somewhere.

As for 6mths off due to injury. I'll give it some thought, but my first reaction is if you've completed 6 or more races for the year then you have competed. It has to be years not races. Grading will be calculated and done at the same time end of season every year. Again a line somewhere
