1km tt,
 
40 min+2lap (as it is a short fast track) standard split in three sets,
 last race, fast streamers only*!!!.
first and second sets, split the reaming feild.
 
*(this will be based on your past history not that you just have a streamer, hope this does not mean that only lee and slash are batteling it outEmbarrassed) I understand Slash and co have no worries for riding in the main feild, but this format may give them that littel extra.Thumbs Up
 
the track is the best we have this year for record attempts, there will be an option to run on to the hour in the mid or fast race, I'll also be asking for the 200m gate timing system from Protobike, should this be ok with Adrian.
 
Fun race the DEVIL Evil Smile, if we dont go on the 200m flying starts.
 
regards

erConfusedr    page two...........Wink
 
race split 30:70
 

A)11:00hr 3lap tt,

20-30sec spaces as we have the timing system. 3lap tt done to make things simpler on the timing. 

 

40min, plus two laps (slow mid fast order to be advised )

B) 12:30 hr

C) 13:30 hr

D) 14:30 hr

(one slot will be an hour record time slot, with a the 40min race embedded so this may drift)

fast race, will be fast streamers only !!! unless the field is very small

 

 200m and or devil fun race

E) 15-16:00 200m

 

these times are approximate, and if possible we will start earlier

 

it be interesting if we could set the 200m gate up at the same time as the tt, a rider wishing to attempt the 200m would make it known and on one of their laps enter the 200m gate. We will look at the feasibility of this Sunday morning.

 

 

Sign on from 10am ( I hope)

Probike is running the 200m timing system

Gnick the 40min race tag system

kind regards

Will the 3 lap TT be a flying or standing start? If the former would it be possible to locate the start as far from a bend as possible? also would it be possible to start on the running track and then cross over onto the cycle track once upto speed (place the rubber mats over the grass)?

Standing, I think.  I appreciate a standing start on banking is problematical with landing-gear.  Would you be OK with a held start?  There'll be more than one person there with experience of holding up streamliners for starts.

Is your gearing too high for a fast standing start Lee?

[edit] Isnt the bit between the bendy bits flat?

My bottom gear is about 51 inch which is actually quite a bit lower than slashers at 72 inch!
Never had a held start before on the beany but hopefully should work if someone can do that for me.

You have had a held start; I held you up on launch #2 at the 1hr TT at sloten, even after you'd got the wheels up :D

The straights are much less banked than the bends but no, not flat
