    Awards Day Lunch Cosford Conservation Centre Tour

    in Speed

    Posted

    For those interested on what goes on behind the scenes at Cosford, for £5 per head you can go on a guided tour of the Michael Beetham Conservation Centre at 11 a.m. on the 12th of November. We will meet the Guide at the Visitors Centre, please post below on this thread so we have an idea of the numbers interested.

    This is a fascinating part of the Museum which you normally can't get public access to.

    Thanks, Robert

    Hi Rob,

    Why does it have to be done before the event, this could be calculated as the results are declared, as i said by:

    "The temporary estimated records in the Classes with tyre regulation changes and no tyre warming could be calculated after each event by increasing the existing record by the average percentage increase in time (relative to their PB’s) of at least two competitors who have competed in that class at that venue for at least 3 years. If there is insufficient data to this at a venue then either the event is not included in the overall for all classes (as now) or a Comp Sec record is put in place (estimated in the fairest way the Comp Sec can find). "

    Hi Simon,

    I know you were replying to Rob, but there are several venues  (this season I think they were Goodwood, Hethel, Llandow, Llys-y-fran, Blyton and both Anglesey events) where tyre warming has not been allowed, and hence are not affected, I realise some of these are new courses but the times form this year (if dry could be used to start defining a record)

    As yet nobody has spoken up for Alan's suggestion, which I can see as being fair and keeping us close to the current system (which I think is very good), I would like to:

    For the classes where there are no change in regulations, the records remain with the exception of venues where tyre warming was previously allowed, in which case we should ask the competitors (who have entered THAT event) by poll if they think the records should be recalculated. Elsewhere in the unchanged classes they should remain.

    The temporary estimated records in the Classes with tyre regulation changes and no tyre warming could be calculated after each event by increasing the existing record by the average percentage increase in time (relative to their PB’s) of at least two competitors who have competed in that class at that venue for at least 3 years. If there is insufficient data to this at a venue then either the event is not included in the overall for all classes (as now) or a Comp Sec record is put in place (estimated in the fairest way the Comp Sec can find). 

    This will obviously only work on dry events (so events would have to be declared wet if everybody did not get a minimum number of dry runs), but the overall score on wet events is not relevant anyway. This will not detract from the event on the day as the class results will not be affected. This will speed up the process of establishing records in the unknowns.
