The stuff about sandbaggers is BS. If anyone is in the wrong class, they won't be there more than a year. At some point you'll find the class that you'll be in for the duration.

As with any sport, things continue to get pushed and become more competitive. That's a good thing. If you don't have the equipment to be competitive, then don't fly to be competitive. Just have fun. Don't hate the sport because it's continuing to push the envelope. Have fun, make some good friends, and learn a lot. If you want to be competitive while you're doing it, you've got to keep up. It will always be that way.

See you at the next "competition"!!
