Sk1 Class Exemption Request

[Jeffrey Chodos]

SK1 competitors,
I have a big favor ask. On Sunday due to a prior commitment I won't be able to race in class in the morning. I can
be at the event right around 12 PM and would like to participate in the afternoon session. But I need your blessing before I could do that. Please let me know if you have an issue with my request.
Thank you Jeff Chodos

I would say it depends on the weather ... if it's wet in the morning they shouldn't/wouldn't.

At the last even we had an incident where a CST competitor "accidentally" ran in a later group, while the first group had wet conditions. Since it wasn't his fault, he's getting his average.

Even if it's not wet, if it's warmer in the afternoon, you could have an advantage.

This is the Supp Regs section:
7.3.4 EARLY/LATE RUNS
In the event a course layout change occurs between the time a competitor takes approved early
or late runs and the time that competitor’s Class runs, that competitor shall earn his/her
average.

It's been interpreted to include significant weather changes. Note is says "approved". You are supposed to get approval from the Event Chair, too.

Jeff pinged George and I, and we made the suggestion to post here as well as find his competitors on Saturday.
