Ok, Let me put this in some grown man words for you guys.
I tried to keep out of this as long as i could, But i think its just time for me to get in this. To me, The sumo class was created for riders that are pretty much heavier than the lightweight riders. Henry, What i dont get is why you would add some extra weight onto you, just so you could race with your buddy. Ok, I give to you that you are a little heavier compared to the lightweights but you still would do good in the lightweight class. Thats like me riding against the other lightweight riders. They are 30+ more punds than i am and they are still passing me/beating me. So theres no reason why you couldnt do the same. Well, Its hard for your motor to pull; Than why dont you buy stuff for your motor like the majority is? Ive seen people heavier than you are henry and they are going pretty fast.
You shouldnt be attacking gizmo because he's stepping up for the riders that dont want to speak up or start anything! I personaly wouldnt have gotten into this mess if you wouldnt have started bs, blaming it on my buddy gizmo.
P.S. Sorry for jacking the thread and great pictures steve, I wish i could have at the race.
I really wish I had pics to show, rather than this last comment. I promise this will be the last.
Come on Giz, do you really think I’m the one who’s sour here? I mean why even come on this forum and tell me to call you or threaten the club by saying you can have a lot of people not show up? What would be manly about handling things like that; furthermore, what would even be the point? To me it’s squashed dude. Like I said, you got what you wanted and I hear where your coming from. Or, what now, do you want me to return my trophies? Maybe I should give it to the fourth place rider and the novice award to the fifth place rider. Not, because you like it or not I won those as a sumo, baby.
There is no need to make threats. I like your team as do many others and would hate to not see you guys at the track for something that already been solved, so please keep bringing your peeps out, so that we can all continue to have fun racing.
I personally aproached Matt before the heat race and asked if that was legal to do(add weights), and i was told as long as he meets the minimum of 190 w/gear it's OK. I answered with ok that's fine and basically there was nothing that we could do about it. I am one of the nine to have an issue with you adding weights. So if you wanna call me on it feel free to do so. I have no problem with discussing it with you. Even if you did finish second to last, the same issue of adding weights would still of arised due to the fact that (Henry did it, then i'm gonna do it to) It was said by two other people right after you had won because in their true thoughts they themselves figured that they would have a better chance winning in that class(sumo) than their own. I understand that they are a little heavier than the majority of the lightweights and are basically stuck in the middle, maybe in time with more people in the welterweight range they too could have a seperate class themselves. How in the hell do you think all of us waist size 38 and up felt for all the years up until now racing against all of you that are alot lighter than us. Catch my drift!! In the 3 years that i have been racing i've only seen one fatboy hang with the featherweights and that be Robbie Wilkey!! Other than that the sumo's are basically the backmarker pack. Which is now called the SUMO class, it's giving us heavier riders a chance to compete amongst ourselves so we too could have fun. How would you feel if they let 180 pound riders and up use 5 ports in the SUPER PRODDY class to make up for the power to weight ratio if we were all to race together still. You would probably put on weights so you could have the advantage of the 5 port. Catch that drift?? To make a long a$$ story short the rules have been changed and set hopefully for the last time. IMHO i think the sumo should be 180 in street clothes how it was originally planned. Oh and i almost forgot MAN THOSE ARE SOME NICE A$$ PICTURES.
PEACE FROM THE SUCKAFREE

Alright henry i apreciate you wanna to squash it!! so it's squash! and nah just keep the trophies dude..honestly i was just sticking up for some of the riders that don't want to speak up...they all know who they are?? and if it seem like i came at you in a foul way, my bad..SORRY..but yeah dude, i was'nt making threats about not having my guys not show up because if i tell my guys not to show up they won't show up..period..if i tell my guys to buy there parts somewhere else they will.. period..i stick buy my team and they stick by me..110% heck 1000% and the all the other guys that ride in stockton..dude alot of people were upset at that.. "adding weights" but i was just the one to put it out there,dude if people stop riding the sumo class it's because they feel something is not right or not fair,so sorry if i had to be the a$$hole to stir sh!t up
