C CLASS

[STEVE P]

I raced last year at Big Sky and loved it, and want to do it again. Im a amateur by all means and in the C class. I see that you are going to have a C Class for Pipestone XC, But on the registration link it only has Class C sportsman. Is there going to be divisions within the C class? i.e Open, Vet, 40+, Etc?
I ask because I am 37 and ride a 450cc bike, and would like to decide what division within class C I want to register in to produce the best odds of getting back to Lone Mountain. I cant wait for this season as I hope to make it to at least three races this year!!

This Message is regarding the Pipestone XC. IF there is going to be C class divisions how do you register for them specifically?

dustrider: There is a C class, and this year it's competitive!! You can register for all the Pipestone classes at www.active.com/cycling/whitehall-mt/summit-motorsports-pipestone-xc-2013

Yup the the lowest class does usually get the most sandbagging

I did see that you can register for C class, but there is only one option: Open. Im waiting for Jamey or Joe to chime in if the is going to be a Vet C, Vet 40, etc. As it sits at Active.com right now the only option for the C class is Open Division

As of right now, Pipestone only has a Men's and Women's C class. If we get a bigger than usual C class turn out, we will consider adding additional divisions. The C class in Montana off road racing has never been big, partially because a C class wasn't a points paying class.

For now, sign up for the Open C class. We will contact you if pre-registration numbers jump in the next couple of weeks and we need to add C classes.

As it stands, if you qualify at Pipestone in the Open C class, we will allow you to move into the 30+ C class when you register for Big Sky.

I hope that makes sense...

Thanks and post questions if you have any.
