Plainville changes?

What the hell? I don't understand the changes Jim has made to the Plainville spring series.

He has changed the feature race to cat 2-3-4 40+. Last year, it was an open 1-2-3. What a brilliant move...lower the number of potential participants!!! Did some old man complain about racing against the younger guys or cat 1's? I'm an over 40 cat 2 and would rather race against the younger guys...especially in a spring series. Also, can you imagine racing against some cat 4's that have already potentially done two races? No thank you!!! Actually. maybe they won't be that tired since the race distances are ridiculously short. The loop is only 0.5 miles long.

This sucks for me because a Saturday series fits into my schedule better than Sunday. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and do Bethel instead.
