I have talked to numerous novices over the years who purposefully stayed novice to collect novice contingency.
If you look at the top 3-5 in NOV and AM, they are running times either on par or not much off the SS times. Yes some have modified bikes but some like myself and Cromer do not. Our mods are all bolt on mods that almost anybody can afford and most are the standard on what gets put on a race bike when you build one or buy one.
