Well, I know it wasn't yellow gear's first year racing so I don't know what he was doing in the class. However, this genuinely was my first year of riding dirt bikes, about 6 months into it. I had an experienced guy who taught me a lot from the beginning, but I wouldn't say I was sandbagging as it was my beginner year. There were other guys who came along and were faster than me in this year too anyways.
