You should race cruiser also.  This is my first year racing, I freestyled as a kid and only raced about 5 times between 12-14 years old. I have raced 5 National races this year and haven't made a main yet in 36-40 Cruiser.  That is my goal for next year though! Riding with those guys makes you a lot faster!  My first race I was beat by the entire last straight, now I am at least close enough that if one of them make a mistake I have a chance!  I did make the Semi's in Louisville and ended up 16 for the East Coast Nats.  I will be on a 20 in 2013, but only for Nats and State events. And, I will still be racing cruiser.  Everyone told me not to bother racing a Nat, they don't because they don't have a chance.  They were wrong!  I may be motofill but I have a great time.  On Sunday at Louisville a first time cruiser rider made the main in the other group because 2 riders in his rack didn't show up because of the rain. The Cruiser Motos are stacked, but they are fun and well worth it!

There is so much time between Motos at a Nat that you get enough rest to run both.  Even losing is a good time at Nats!
