It was a good round 5 for me, but I never thought I get the bump...

[DZircher]

Personally I would not be surprised the "yellow" plate shown on mine had nothing to do with bumping, it is very possible that it is just how it is shown after the system update or something. What you show kind of confirmed that.

Yes, I think there's been a patch too. Or something else gone crazy

[Rambunctous]

It is listing me with white plates. I guess someone needs to call or email Wanda.

[MarkMarine]

1. They will email you if they bump you.
2. They don't bump experts mid-season without asking unless you REALLY need to be bumped. Like you're running 14s or something. The AM middleweight #223 is running 16s out there and he still has yellow plates.
3. You need to be running average times in expert level to get bumped and have 400 points, not a few PBs.

Stop raining on our parades. We all magically gained skills when no one was looking and LRRS has thus chosen to recognize us for our fantasy laptimes with unannounced bumps.

Mike Arbo's Qstars tells him his theoretical best lap time is 0:58. dude is theoretically FAST as shit and can probably beat Marquez in a computer simulation.

That's bullshit, the best he's done is a 1:05.6

But on a serious note... they better figure that shit out. I already bought yellow vinyl, ordered my black numbers and told everyone I know that I got bumped. Wanda has mail.

The way I see it, I'll be the only Novice left racing on the track and I'll be sitting pretty on the podium.
Well, sitting on the podium anyway. And no, I'd better not hear 'get your box on the box'

Let me just quote this for posterity while noting there is no 3 second rule on the internet...

[Roland]

DZ you won't be the only novice left! Ill be in that category with you!

Hear anything back yet?

[Woodcraft]

....I always thought when the rule book said 1:26, it meant you need to be under 1:26 to get the bump.

Kind of happy and stressed out at the same time. Been accepting the fact that I will probably never get out of novice, may be my ancient tires have something to do with it or I just never got enough seat time. May be the new tires I got this round (thanks Mike) had a lot to do with it.

Thanks to TTD for getting me into trackdays, thanks to Penguin for the class, thanks Oreo for putting up with my pm harassment even before I got my bike and definitely thanks for all the advice I got from this forum.

Now I feel really bad not able to make it to round 6....

Glad to see that you are doing so well....you'll just have to make up for it with a stellar round 7, simple enough....

[sdog30]

Hear anything back yet?

Yes.

Wanda was away last week and the updates to the system has been an issue. There will be emails going out this week to those who got the bump. If you don't get contacted, you didn't get bumped.

[sdog30]

Oh....

And I got called up.

YEAH BITCHES!!!!

[shortbus]

Wanda:

Tom,
You have not been bumped up to Amatuer; When you log in to the online registration system the color plates will be wrong because we just switched over to the new system and the default colors have not yet been tweaked to match the LRRS plate colors.

We would never bump anyone without notifying them as outlined in the rulebook.

We just have not gotten all the parts of the online system customized yet.

I really appreciate you checking with me first and not assuming that you were bumped like several others have.
Wanda

[MarkMarine]

Vindicated! Told you so bitches.

But sorry man, you'll get the bump soon. If you want some help I have pointers:

1. Spend all your money on track time
2. Don't be afraid to... No almost relish crashing
3. Watch the experts mid corner, and remember they have the same tires you do. Up your roll speed and everything else follows, brake markers, gas on points, everything will improve.

Ah, Thank You for the insight Mark! You still need a radiator?
