Here is the best thing for the lower classes. =A0I dont race bicycles just y=
et=20
but I race motocross and we have a payback system that is JUST TOTALLY=20
awesome and makes it fun for everyone involved. =A0Basically, it works like=20
this.

Wacky Payback

1st, 2nd and 3rd recieve trophies for thier accomplishment.

Then the Winner draws one of 3 paybacks out of a hat.

1 Pays
1st 55% of purse
2nd 30% of Purse
3rd 15% of purse

2 Pays
1st 10% of Purse
5th 10% of Purse
10th 20% of purse etc.=20

3 pays
1st-5th Nothing
6th 25% of purse
14th 10% of purse
25th 40% of purse
last 25% of purse

Obviously, this is an example. =A02-3 paybacks are modified each race so no=20=
one=20
know exactly where to finish to have a chance to race. =A0This makes it=20
EXCITING for everyone because now EVERYONE has a chance to win something and=
=20
be able to brag about thier accomplishments AND it diminishes the posibility=
=20
that someone is out CHERRYPICKING for cash and\or prizes! =A0=A0Remember tha=
t the=20
lower classes are for people to have FUN not become RICH from Cherrypicking=20
the lower classes. =A0Besides, you will not find too many #2's from another=20
area coming your way to brag about kicking some #5's butts for a trophy BUT=20
you sure will find them tryingto win your CASH!

My two cents,

Joe

TRUST ME, you guys will get a kick watching a guy finish in 20th walk away=20
with his first prize money in 20years of supporting your racing organization=
s!
