    MNSW MA Grading

    Hi guys

    been a while but hey hey..

    I was bumped up to B grade, so i sent a heated email back disputing it, this is the response I recived



    "Matthew has provided some statistics in relation to the race meetings he entered including his average lap-times and these have been reviewed in light of his objection and we note the following:



    1. Our records indicate that he has ridden 4 meetings as a C grader in 2016;

    2. The committee’s decision is based on lap-times not finishing position;

    3. He quotes B graders at SMP (the creek) as doing 1.35’s and that he is “maxed out at 1.40’s”. The window for B graders on a 600cc at SMP is 1.40 to 1.45, so at 1.40 Matthew is at the top of the B grade range;

    4. He quotes B graders at WP as doing 1.03 – 1.04’s, and that he is doing 1.05’s. Again the window for B graders on a 600cc at WP is 1.06 – 1.09, so at 1.05 Matthew is actually A grade for that circuit.



    Given the above, the committee stands by its’ decision to re-grade Matthew to B.



    It may give some comfort to Matthew to know that we also reviewed lap-times of the B grade ASBK riders at both SMP and WP and they are doing:

    SMP – 1.35 to 1.43

    WP – 1.01 to 1.09, so he shouldn’t get “smashed”."



    MNSW are living in the 90's

    If your motor is unmodified you may be selling yourself short.

    Rodney and Keith have been doing 42's for a long time and have been B grade. Its just that the current crop of 600 guys are all so competitive.

    I got regraded to B with best time at the creek of 42 flat in my 3rd year of racing. Not really surprised.....

    Yeah I was promoted to B grade on my 600 when I was doing 43s. You're properly fast now, so you should be happy with your promotion!

    Is this outside the St George grading system? http://www.stgeorgemcc.com/pdfs/road...ing%20List.pdf

    This is the only list I can find on the net. MA and MNSW are horrible sites to navigate.

    So, since they spelled my name wrong, does it mean I get to start over?

    Why? What's wrong with going to B grade and why do you want to stay as a C grader? I'm not being smart, I just don't get it....

    Like anyone in this country is ever going to be able to spell any Brazilian name right. We can't even say them correctly.
