Our original notice regarding the DD-2 Master weight class issued yesterday has been reversed to the original 415lb due to very compelling points of view, most important was that the series (both RMC and Pan Am) had started its season and some had made decisions and investment based on our original weight.

That level of &#8220;comfort&#8221; may be holding you back.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with comfort.
