John,
And I suppose I have the right to enter whatever PN number I choose as long as it’s at lease as low as the existing F16 number, when I enter any other open class events.
Your fellow club member Constantine Serementis has already performed this feat in the past. So the precedent has already been set and it shouldn't be to hard to get a similar adjustment accepted a second time.
In the end of the day, this is also better for yourself, to force yourself to fight harder for the wins !
Best of luck !
Wouter
