Booked just now. I'll be on the Nocom as seventyseven won't go round the hairpin(s)... |

Twenty entries for Stourport in the first 18 hours - That's an amazing response. There are a total of 60 places available. It's a great track where the tight corners mean that the streamliners and velomobiles don't always have it all their own way - We've seen unfaired bikes win overall there in the past! ------------- |

Is anyone going from somewhere in the West London area? I have the analogue clock to go and a disk wheel to pick up from Russell. Liam isn't going because the course is a bit tight for a streamliner. I can only get round in one directions, so rather a waste of a trip. Can drop off and collect items, emissions zones allowing. ------------- jdub...

Of course but I expect I can just pick the stuff up from wherever suits you. Work might be a touch difficult for me about racing this Sunday but I won’t know for sure for a while yet. |

Results from the electronic timing system are now up at: http://www.bhpc.org.uk/Data/Sites/1/media/events/events22/02stourport/index.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.bhpc.org.uk/Data/Sites/1/media/events/events22/02stourport/index.html And I've provisionally updated the points table at: http://www.bhpc.org.uk/Data/Sites/1/media/events/events22/BHPC_2022.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.bhpc.org.uk/Data/Sites/1/media/events/events22/BHPC_2022.html Stourport's always a challenge for the RFID system, as we have to operate on reduced power from one aerial so as not to pick up riders on the far side of the circuit. Consequently we had a few missed reads, particularly where well-worn timing tags, excessive carbon fibre or tall people on upright tricycles were involved. Many thanks to Heather and Natalya for generally paying attention and making copious notes where the timing tags failed to tell the whole story. Also thanks to the riders who had the decency to cross the finish line at the same time as another rider when your tags weren't working, so we could spot you on the camera  The only things we haven't been able to piece together (the times shown are extrapolated from previous lap times) are: -Mark Howard's finish time in the first slow race -Don shackley's finish time in the first fast race -Russel Bridge's finish time in the second fast race (We seem to have filled in enough gaps to get the lap counts right.)

Many thanks Kim! Well done everybody. "Stewards enquiry I overtook Peter smorfitt on the bell lap took the flag ahead of him" He's referring to race 1 apparently. ------------- |

Okay, I've fudged that. Will wait for more input before re-generating all the HTML.

I'd say the guess of a 2:16 last lap for me from the software was bang on. I was going as hard as the penultimate 2:13 lap to keep Andrew behind me, but coasted over the line when I could see that he'd given up. Thanks to all for a great days racing. Some sunburn, slight dehydration, but all good fun.  I've looked back to the Stourport 2019 results and found that my times from today almost exactly mirrored 2019 (22.7mph average), so it's good to know that the hours and hours sat on the turbo in a freezing cold garage over winter have done absolutely B*GGER ALL  |

There was a jacket left at the Stourport track. Let me know if you think it is yours Heather

Yes, I saw Russell had GIVEN UP at the end of the last lap! |

Thanks to all for a great days racing and to the organisators for doing an amazing job as always! Apologies for being late and for the inadequacy of the air deciding to leave my rear tyre in the last race. I suspect the warm sun and hard braking into the hairpins just got too much for the tube. Had the same problem last year at this event. Solid tyres next year methinks. Also thanks to James for being so consistently polite and shouting a warning every time he flew past me ------------- Ross Low Racer 77 and WozzaMarauder |

Hi Kim, I have 35.43 for the first race with laps the same as Shane Booth. We were very close at the finish but not sure which of us was ahead. Regards Don ------------- Don |

| Looking on the line Don's nose was ahead but that's not where the tags are! |

You can't have been that close, as there's nobody else visible in the video of Shane crossing the line (which runs from 1 second before to 2 seconds after his tag read). 35:43 would be consistent with that, putting Don about 3 seconds ahead. Okay, I've re-uploaded with the above changes.

| Gaz Wright #60 had flat tyres during both slow races but managed to rejoin the first race before the finish. That pause during the first race doesn’t seem to show up in the animation. |

Ah, that's interesting... We had a problem with his tags, in that he requested new tags before the event but then refused them. As this isn't something that usually happens, nobody realised the danger of leaving the new tags lying around in the timing tent, in full view of the RFID system, leading to a whole lot of nosense data. Natalya noticed that something was going wrong and started making a note of his lap times from 13:45 onwards, while I buried the new tags under something metallic. We got a few reads from his old tags, but not consistently, so most of the laps were recorded manually. We never realised he'd stopped, though, and after clearing out all the spurious reads his first four lap times were extrapolated. I've just found his first lap in the video at 2:47 (the great thing about spurious reads is that it records video evidence). No further sign of him until 13:45, so I'll delete the extrapolated laps for that gap, pending further info. (We sorted out his tags before the second race, which worked splendidly until he DNFed with a mechanical.)

This is true I lost a few laps in the middle of the first slow race, and most in the second slow race. It appears my main purpose of the day was picking up debris in my front tyre
