In an attempt to level the playing field and address people concerns of ‘fairness’
We will be implementing a ‘weigh in’ of riders before each event.
Recognizing that a large part of the performance of a bike has to do with the weight of a rider , weight will now be factored in to the handicap.
This is how it will work.
We will take 200lbs per person as the base line.
Riders will be weighed with leathers on but no helmet.
For every 10lbs over the 200lb base line the team will gain 1 lap.
If the team rides a bike 500cc or less machine, the team will receive 1.5 laps per extra 10lbs.
I’m still trying to convince Bob to let me prep his GT185. I maintain that that machine in P1-200 is the “hot ticket”. In endurance, those things were bullet proof, we could just ride round and round for two hours drinking coffee and laughing all the way to the lightweight championship with our extra bazillion laps! But sadly that is not our path…
