DERBY MERCURY RC

Evening TT series rules.

 

1.Entry is ‘on the line’. A entry fee will be charged, as decided by the Committee.

 

2.For the evening ’TT’ season-long competition only, a rider retains the category to which he belonged at the first event of the series.

 

3.Points competition - decided on actual time. Within each of the categories listed above, points are awarded as follows:   1st - 40 pts,  2nd - 39 pts,  3rd - 38 pts, etc down to 40th position. A rider’s best 10 performances (points scored) count towards the total for the series, thus the maximum score possible is 400.

 

4.To qualify for the overall competition a rider must have assisted with time keeping or pushing off at at least one event in the series.

 

5.Joe Buxton Handicap Competition - rider’s categories do not apply. Points are awarded as in (c) above but based on handicap time, i.e. actual time minus handicap. A handicap is assigned to each DMRC rider at the start of the season based upon performances over the previous 2 seasons, relative to the scratch time for the course. In the absence of any previous form, a handicap is calculated from the rider’s first ride of the season. Through the season a rider’s handicap is reduced when improved performances require it.

This is a map of the course used for the Hilly evening 10s and the club open hilly 21. Thanks to Nigel it shows all the places where you can stop for a pint.

(Note. The Start/Finish for the open is at the Tiger)

This map is the Long Lane evening time trial course. Once again Nigel has illustrated all the places you can stop for a drink on the course.

Evening Time Trials

The evening time trials are open to anyone who is a member of a CTT affiliated club. They are probably the easiest way to start racing or can just be used as a good training session.  If you want to have a go you just need to turn up at the clubroom at 6:45 or at the start to sign on. The entry fee is £1.50. For a list of when the events are on see “Whats on page” The circuits used are shown below.

If you are not a member of a club you can join the DMRC for £8 by filling in the entry form and bring this along.

If you have any questions contact Clive Lockwood or Dave Banks
