No if it was the devil, it be for points as we have done before.
 
yes the tt could be the other way round, we'd have to watch crowding so perhaps limit it to groups of 10-15 on track or waiting at any time.
 
what i really want: cold beer and hot pizza......
 
40 Minute + 1 lap with a sprit lap(off the bell) at 10mins, 20mins, 30mins. first past the post gets extra 50 points each bell.
 
devil for points
 
point split 60:40   thus making the devil worth while.

In that case make the devil clockwise, with the bottom cut through optional - should help vehicles that can handle the turns Evil Smile

Don;t think it is quite that easy. You would have to think of a way in getting it into the signing on software to be able to process it.  That means you would have to think of a way of making it seem like a race, otherwise it won't work.

I like the idea of a Devil as well - they are always good fun...
 
BHPC usually run ACW... Pedal cars usually run CW...
 
I much prefer CW...
 
As for the one lap sprints, I don't see how that would work if the event is likely to be split into fast/slow races as usual... First past the post in the slow race could end up with a lot more points than somebody much quicker in the fast race.
 
Sounds too complicated and likely to cause arguments to me...

spice of life......... 
well if someone in the slow race get more points then someone in the fast c'est la course, it is the race!!!!
 
is should make the race more livly, and is common in other race series. But if we can do it Censored

quite happy for the devil to be a contributor towards the total points for the day as long as some one else takes over the organising and calculating! 
The computer stuff isn't set up for that, and I really have no intention of doing it! the system is perfectly set up for a TT/normal race so if you want two points races then it's that or nothing from me I'm afraid.
If the devil is supposed to be fun, then leave it as such, a fun race and have the long race as the points one. 

I can't see the bike setup argument is a justification for not going Clockwise, since when did we start having races based around what a particular bike can cope with? 
surely the entire point is to have bikes that can cope with circuits we race on, rather than the other way around?  sounds like Mike and his anti- going up a small hill argument to me ...
Shrewsbury doesn't favour streamliners (either way around) does that mean we shouldn't race there, or is it a good venue because it gives other riders a chance for a change? 

the idea of having a sprint in the middle, end or whatever of an ongoing race is not something I want to take part in or organise.

Clap So let use the bottom cut through as well - even up the multitrack divide Tongue
