I am in agreement with Huws plan, sounds fairer

Just as long as I don't have to restrict my gear

No more youths since Sam broke his arm. So I win!!!!!Yay!!!!

How can you tattoo into your forehead?

How does/will the handicap rule work then?

[huw williams]

For forehead tatoos go to a Millwall game with Jon Avery

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

The handicap rule is that you get 6cm head start on everyone else - simple.

[MJ_1993]

no really

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

OK then, they get 6cm head start on you

[MJ_1993]

lol

how about no

i think a 10 lap headstart

[Sylv]

A topical question for a change:

Which way round the track

[Andrew G]

Same way as everyone else.

5 laps neutralised at the start to give less experienced riders a 'settling in on the course' period and to stop some damn fool (probably Marek)attacking from the gun and having a load of riders going round on their own for an hour.

Paul T gets a five lap penalty in payment for his pathetic performance last season when he made the lap counters job impossible by getting repeatedly dropped from every group in the race.

Any shouting/spitting/hair-pulling or bullying down the back straight when you think your out of sight is to be greatly encouraged and spot prizes will be awarded accordingly.

[Stu Merckx Man]

adam- i think use the finish at the top of the 'hill' it will be better for me

[Marek]

I have it on good authority that the finish on the hill is actually safer. I presume we are going around the normal way which I believe is anti-clockwise.

Maybe we could have a couple of primes on the other finish to give the sprinters a chance to practice their speedy finishes. PVT what do you reckon, finish on the hill and primes on the straight? May be harder for the judges as will be running about a bit.

Cheers

Marek....

[Phil L]

I presume we all start together and the groups are for just awarding the prizes?

[Phil L]

[quote]You're not suggesting its rigged ... are you?

[Andrew G]

Phil you set off the faster group first and then set the second group a little bit later. This means that the faster race has nearly a full lap to make up before you have to worry about them going through the other race. Normally by the time this happens the races have split up a bit so you don't have a big group trying to make it's way through the other one, potentially at a tricky part of a circuit.

It is also to prevent the slower cats just wheel sucking the fast cats. A strong 4th cat might be able to wheel suck an E/1/2 pack so they could tow themselves away from their race's competitors.

Marek - good idea, but I don't think it is practical for this race.

Mo- It doesn't matter what your handicap is as you win the youths race anyway QED

AJC - pedant mode
