How about a cup for the person who improves most over the season to encourage people to develop their bikes?

One need not split race points, but add the different race categories, ok so this may look like making the class structure bigger.
In this way riders who only want to entry one race, for what ever reason, would not end up miles down the points system.
Like wise the likes of Paul Sprit C could if wish concentrate on his sprit tactics if he so wished. I to, would like the sound of 3hr or longer races.
I'd be happy to make cups/Trophies for the new categories.

If you did have 3 hour races you might get pedal car people joining in the fun.
Catch is, they would probably want to share the cars (and therefore the cost) during the races.
This has gone down very badly in the past.

Define and measure improvement, without returning to the same track and arranging the same weather conditions... 
And, ensure no-one stonewalls their first race. Or just leaves their bike's nose cone and tail fairings at home for it. Or does it when they're ill. Or when they first have a recumbent and therefore simply aren't that good on it due to 'jelly legs', poor control, etc. And, somehow, split out the 'rider' and 'machine' components of any improvement...

Only if I can have a "178cm and 75kg and I would like lose a few kg but I like Pringles too much" class. Both male and female of course.
Seriously though, what about juniors?
Does every class have a seperate junior award?
