no because then you will have to worry about a "pro rider" going down to amature just to cash in on a paycheck. sure it could happen if it was 500 for am and 1000 for pro, but chances would seem higher for the sandbagging if they were the same

The cash is for the pro's only. All amateurs will get rewarded with prizes from our sponsors.
The cash comes from our race registration fee and/or from our annual sales.

Honestly, yeah. But, how many pro women do you get for races? Maybe it should be based on a precentage of the registration fees. I didn't get to race DH at all this year, but I did ride the Beg./Sport course at Whiteface in September and it was :thumb: The expert one tried to kill me several times ;)
