Yeah, I was always getting spanked by vets but when I did do a decent ride I'd get fuck all and some vets would still pick up prizes so I'm kinda like "why not?" Then again I only race one event a year.
Tim McEvoy and Darren Yarwood are both Vets and faster than me.
I don't need to qualify, I just wave my "do you know who I am" card at organisers and they let me in for some drama or LOLs depending on what I break.
I'm just thinking I could double my chances of winning something if I joined, ie. I might win my entry fee back.
