I think it will just complicate things too much Bill. QVMX always had trouble getting lap scorers and until recently only scored points on one moto per class for that reason. This would just be another hurdle..

Trouble getting lap scorers huh. Surely someone up there can count to 3,4 and god forbid 5. Even d/c could do that ;D

Just jokin' John

All im saying is that points scoring should be relative to number of competitors .

You have got to be kidding.  There already is rules on how many entries consitutes a class so the clubs should use that if they want to.  But why penalise someone because other riders don't enter.

As for someone really slow or after a crash or bike trouble getting points for only completing a small number of laps.  Read GCR 12.11.2.1.  "Has completed not less than 75% of the event distance"  That is 3 laps of a 4 lap race.  Problem solved and already covered by the GCRs or the supp-regs.  No need for anymore bullshit rules.

Kev I think you will find that GCR 12.13.4.1 overrules 12.11.2.1  ;)

Who are you calling a wobbler Bill?  To tell you the truth I am not looking at it from a rider's point of view anyway.  I'm looking at it from an official's point of view.  Why make things harder for the official's? 

Bill are you racing the Post Classic Nats at Echo Valley?  If you do make sure you enter the 500 Evo class, then we'll see who the wobbler is.  Also it wouldn't be hard to do what you are saying, (by using the supp-regs, no new rules needed) but I'm not going to tell you how.

Nothing that has been proposed makes any extra work for the lap scorers during the day.
Usually the points are tallied by the individual after the racing is over - the extra work is their's.

Yes "kept it simple F@#$ wit"

Really if we're going to make it complicated why not go the hole hog and give extra points to Red German bikes etc and maybe even more for older riders.

The easier it is for everyone the better it is.  If you can't understand that maybe we should rotate the official jobs.
