 200m standing starts suit me fine, but I thought from the amount of whinging about the little bend, the track at shrewsbury favoured Dfs enough anyway..

1 lap tt wrong way round (wrong being opposite to what we do)
or
5 lap tt
or
the devil

two lane drag race 100m (give the bents a chance)

it is a short track with a few bends, not ideal for tts.

The track could suit a devil - like Lancaster, people can be pulled off every half-lap if one a lap would give too long a race.
 
Nothing wrong with a TT with BENDS.  I'd like to have a spin round the track the "wrong way" to assess the riskiness before saying it would be definitely OK.  A multi-lap TT would be fine but would have to be the "usual way" because a few riders could be out at once and the risk of cross-over collisions would still be there.
 
I never saw the point of short-distance drags for HPVs - they don't show off our advantages.  I'm starting to sound like Mike Burrows so I'll shut up!

If you are going to do 200m sprints (or whatever) you need to think carefully about how you are going to implement it.  

You will either have to do it all manually, or have a chat with Jonathan on how you could use his sprint system.

As for a TT Lap idea, then you should be able to utilise the existing Tag  system to do it.  

Perhaps we should produce a 'pick' list of race choices that we can run via which systems (and instructions on how) to allow people to chose the right race format.

the single lap may work best.
I quite like going "the wrong way around", for a TT I can't really see an issue, it's if there's a few riders diving into the hairpin at the same time that could be a problem. 
Of course it does mean the back straight becomes a long draggy climb.
