@horton, I know your position is strong, and this thread is not about age vs ability (directly anyway) so I am afraid to ask, but I have a question: If you did away with MM and went all aged based for Nats, other than clarity, how did that improve the event for the M3 guys? Now instead of just the "sandbaggers" you have all the 35-45 top guys joining you. Its clear, its predictable before the event, its still fair, but otherwise how is it better? I am not saying its not, I just forgot your rationale.
I like MM as the top 34mph division, but I now have the Big Dawg for that just like the top 36mph guys can ski Pro Events. So I am not passionate about keeping MM if I was asked to vote, but thats only because we have the Big Dawg.
