Are you talking about DM Pro or rF Pro? Because I am comparing myself to rF which is the primary series for MX Sim. The fastest of us DM AM riders were top 10-15 in rF AMs and are finishing the year as AMs before trying to be Pros for 2016. And as i said before, I would be racing Pro for DM right now but I am in my one and only shot to ever run #1 and try to defend a title. And I tried to qualy for a few Pro rounds this year and did not even make the cut. I just reached the top of the AM class and that's why this is my last AM series.
It appears you have made your point, sounds good to me. Keep ripping!
Thanks man! Also, I think it may be a good idea if DM makes a rule that if you finish top 3 in points in AMs, for 2 strait series' you must move to Pro. So people can defend or win a title but not sandbag.
That's actually a rule that will be implemented after this series . Good suggestion bruh.

Yes, we have talked about this. Going over details now.
Just my 2 cents here but, DM's pro series is wayyyy slower than rF pro, i really think top 5-7 ams should race pro since the pro Series is like a top Ams / slow pro series with the exception of 2-3 top pros
I understand the '' this is my last ams series thing'' but still, i understand slower ams' arguments 2!
all in all , it is in the admins hands, but since it is already round 5 i think it is 2 late to switch things, just have strict rules for your next series!

The thing is with the Pro Series we mainly run like 1-3 Sessions for different series for our qualifying lap. Compared to RF when we want the fastest lap. Then Am's in this Series are taking the qualifying way different then we are, so thats why they manage to get around our lap times.

+1 with Chase, I did 2 sessions and got my 1:58 for quali and didn't play for 2 days and showed up and raced, unlike rF when we actually pound out laps after laps and practice quite a bit before the race also. So I wouldn't say he pros are a lot of slower then rF, it's just we don't try hard as much as some of the people that's why some of y'all do better then us.
The point i was trying to bring is that not all of the top pros show up for this series...

Ya I really like the DM team and series, you guys have quickly made a name for yourselves! And after this series it will be another few guys that will be at the top on that transition for Pro. Lol but like I said, the few of us are just getting a few races at the top before we never have a chance to win again
I totally agree with this, I don't think you guys are sandbagging at all. I just think that there's such a massive skill gap between the existing pros and anyone else trying to get into the game that it's hard to have just one amateur class. Unfortunately, it's probably just as hard to have multiple am classes for the same reason that we can't really fairly regulate different speed guys to different classes. I've personally been playing several months now, and I'm still just qualifying in around 35th every week (ams) for this series, and the fast am guys here really are generally slower than the average pro. Just goes to show that there's a huge learning curve, and that's the reason fast ams are looked at as sandbaggers, when (USUALLY) they're really not.
. Good suggestion bruh.
