| How can I ride two classes? |
The '03 Mulekicker was on the schedules of both the MHSC series and the AMA National Hare Scrambles series. Since
it's a National race, the class structure is set up according to AMA rules. However, the MHSC class structure does not
match up exactly with the AMA. For example, the AMA has two "Vet" classes -- "Vet A" and "Vet B" -- whereas the MHSC
has only a single "Vet" class.
In this situation, the MHSC allows a rider to pick a class that is relatively close to what they would normally ride in the
Missouri series, as long as it's not a class that is obviously a lower skill level than their regular MHSC class. For me, I
would be barred from riding the Open C class but could ride either of the Vet classes, the Open A class, heck, maybe
even the Pro class.
After the race, our tireless MHSC scorekeeper, Tom Eidam, painstakingly segregates the MHSC regulars from the field
and scores them separately according to the MHSC class in which they've been competing during the year. And that's
how it's possible to ride two classes at once.
