I just am not a fan of the concept of a 'professional sportsman racer'. thats all.

I feel ideally sportsman classes are intended to be a hobby to us, not a source of livelihood. The very nature of having so many professional racers in the sportsman ranks makes it that much more difficult for hobby racers to compete in classes that are inteded for them. Thats just an unfortunate fact.

That being said, I am not suggesting anything can or should be done about it. The races are open for anyone to enter, and they should be.

And there is no class in the Professional categories aymore for anyone other than mega funded teams, or extremely wealthy folks, so I do understand that as well.

Finally, I do also agree with you folks, that the article was very poorly written.
