While I don't disagree with you that there's kind of an awkward gap between pro and amateur,(I even pushed to split 250 ams into an A and B class, where the a class is made up of those guys looking to go pro, but I digress) if guys like you can't qualify for pro some weeks, and bump down to ams, in my opinion that could really cause some issues for the guys strictly trying to race the amateur series.

Couldn't someone like you work on trying to race pro, but still make main events and compete for the podium on open night? I'm not trying to point the finger here or single you out at all, just providing my $.02
This is my opinion as well.

In Bonneau's case I do think if he put in more time he should be able to make it into the night show in pro..

Being 100% honest I think that if someone wins a AM championship they should be moving up the following season.
I get where you're coming from with this. I still think I'm a bit of a special case since 4 or 5 guys faster than me moved up or got banned, and my best finish all season was 3rd, but generally it is a good rule to have the champion move up.

As far as putting in more time goes, we could all improve with more time, the problem is finding the time between everything else going on in life :wink:

For the open class, does that run all season? If I am forced out of ams, could I run open for West and try for pro East coast?

I think the biggest worry when it comes to the time is when Wheels and anyone else involved in hosting can host, not the racers

From the way im reading things, I think you would totally be able to run Open for the West Rounds, try for Pro in the East, and on the nights where you don't make Pro East, you could also race Open. I could be wrong here, this is just my understanding.

Also, just a side note, I'm personally hoping that since some guys (a lot of top contenders) have pointed out of the 250 class, there will be some great opportunities for new guys to fight for the championship, as well as open new spots for riders that are on the brink of making the Pro night show or not to get to race.
