I've won money in all divisions except the 5 and 6D, though primarily in the 1 and 2D. It doesn't mean I'm against the others. I just feel they have their place and it isn't in ALL races.
Its amazing how posts with valid points get ignored (or accused of beating a dead horse) and the hijacking ones just keep going on and on....
People say the 1D people should appreciate the lower D riders because without them, they wouldn't make enough money...the lower D riders should appreciate the 1D winners - without them, the pace would be set slower and those people wouldn't be getting checks either. LOL!!!!!
Percentages show that there are still more people in the 3 and 4D than the 5&6D so I don't know that adding them has really impacted the sport that much.
