I'll be the 'Human Derny' in the Kieren race(s).
Basically everyone does one flying lap & the fastest 18 times go into 3x6 man heats where i'll be the pacer. I do 2.5 laps on the front, gradually increasing the speed until i'm almost going flat out, pull over & they go hell for leather for the last 250m!
The first two in each heat go thru to the final.
The reason being is that there are too many risks & insurance hurdles if we get the derny out, plus they have to pay the guy to ride it...... It's easier just to get some muppet (me) to do it
This event is very well organised with over £1500 worth of prizes including 3 new frames (Dolan I think) & a shed load of accessories as prizes. I've been getting my girlfriend prepared for this for the last two months, the plan being she wins every race
It'll be a great day with loads to see, plus a massive jumble sale. Oh, and a BBQ
