How can the Red Baron be both part-faired and unfaired at the same time?
Categories overlap as they become more restrictive. So, to attempt an ASCII venn-diagram:
(Open (Part-faired (Unfaired)))
A velomobile would only count as Open, but the Red Baron counts as all three. The idea being to give those on less expensively aero machines / women / juniors / those using spare wheels etc. some fair competition.
Further confusion or possibly enlightenment may be found at
http://www.bhpc.org.uk/how-to-race-with-bhpc.aspxTheir scoring system is a wonder of geekery. But top in 3 categories – wow!
Actually four. But since nearly all
[1] the women racing this year have been using unfaired machines, the Ladies Part Faired category is currently a bit redundant . Similar story with Street and Sports
[2], which appear to have deteriorated into me attempting to get the edge on John Lucian (who is frustratingly faster than me) with superior turning-up tactics. (If anybody spots him at Gravesend, feel free to let his tyres down
)
Anyway, I now have control of the timing system
[3]. Muhahaha.
[1] IIRC Magda Williams hoovered up some points in a Quest at Hillingdon.
[2] At last year's AGM it was suggested that the trophy for Sports should go to whoever was able to explain the difference between Sports and Street. Or possibly the other way round.
[3] It was suffering from a b0rked cable. Is now working.
