Because of regulation changes brought in by British Cycling we have had to make some slight changes to the Club's formula racing system.these are detailed below.
Race classes

5 formulas spliting under 18’s.
A new class – Club SUPERCLASS – for experienced / skilled riders 18+
A new class – Club TROHMS – for old skool / parents etc 18+ (TROHMS is They Really Ought to Have More Sense)

New race fees are £3 for all classes except Superclass which is £4.

Club Class riders remain in the same class all series

Formula class riders are moved between formulas determined by event results (and subject to limitations imposed by age/gender).

Riders aged 15, 16 and 17 can optionally move into SUPERCLASS from formula 1 if they qualify by finishing First or Second (subject to agreement by race Series Organiser). Once they move into SUPERCLASS they cannot move back out during that series. They must qualify and request to be moved, cannot enter the class directly at the first event they enter in the series.

Riders in TROHMS can move into SUPERCLASS at anytime by request. Once they move in they cannot move back out during that series.

No rider can move into SUPERCLASS after rounds 6, 7, or 8

SUPERCLASS is permanent payback – calculated as £1 per rider in class minus £1 for first, and half the first place amount for 2nd

SUPERCLASS do not get end of series trophies

One of the other formula groups 1 to 4 is randomly selected also as payback.

Formula 5 receive medals / trophy after each round awarded on event results

All formulas receive an end of series trophy if they have done at least 4 rounds.

TROHMS are never payback, and receive only an end of series trophy if they have done at least 4 rounds.

Racing Order will be TROHMS, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, SUPERCLASS

In the event of less than three riders in a formula class, the riders will be automatically promoted to the next class up, except formula 1 which will be demoted to the formula 2 class.

In the event of less than three riders in SUPERCLASS and or TROHMS, the groups will be merged for racing as SUPERCLASS but re-split for points / payments

Latest from the club:

"This is the first race of the Club's Summer series.

All the usual stuff medals and trophies for all riders in Formula 5.

As many prizes and giveaways as we can find!!

New Superclass payback catergory to satisfy British Cycling's new regulations.

New category for Old schoolers, MTBs and parents who just want to give it a go (or should know better).

No experience necessary!!
All equipment available to borrow free of charge.

Possibility that Look North maybe coming to record the racing.

Refreshments available as usual."

Greg, I did the last Bradford club race and it did start a bit after 12 and was done very quickly.
Of course I couldn't guarantee they'd be done early $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

Anything I can do to help you get packed up quickly just let me know as I won't have any ankle-biters with me to slow me down.

I was going to do gate practice on Saturday andso I will take part in this instead

motomagII · « **Reply #5 on:** April 15, 2010, 06:34 PM »

if i let ya know tomorrow can u register me please i will get there around 12 or so ish bvut gotta get padded up and warmed up .also i take it we are the first on too

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #6 on:** April 15, 2010, 07:03 PM »

Greg, just let me know the details I'll need and it'll be done. We are supposed to be on first, but the fast lads (superclass) are on last. If the classes get combined we might end up on last with them (we'll score points separately). Of course if there's few of us we should be able to race on our own

See y'all there!

Skill! Old School mini-meet at Bradford

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #9 on:** April 19, 2010, 10:21 AM »

Good support for this event on Saturday with team RVR representing, and 5 of us Old Skoolers on the gate

We were in the TROHMS class (basically, 18+ open, non-elite class) along with one of the Bradford cruiser dudes (Steve) and it worked very well with a decent 6-man gate and everyone in the mix.
Well done to Richie on being first OS rider, AND winning the TROHMS class

(Rooski, did you beat Steve in the 4th moto? I was 1 point ahead of him before that, so he probably took 3rd overall on countback anyway.)

HEYWOOD BMX · « **Reply #14 on:** April 20, 2010, 07:54 PM »

Pretty sure there`s a club race on again this Saturday as we`ve had an invite.

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2010, 08:02 PM »

I was fairly sure that it was the usual gate practice this Saturday late morning/lunchtime. Next club race scheduled for Tuesday 4th May.
Could be worth emailing Jeremy via the club website contacts page to be sure http://www.bradfordbmxbandits.org.uk/

I won't be able to make it, I hope to fit in 30min on the way somewhere else this weekend.
