15 Metre Gold Double Tac Sub

[Star Lady]

Daft, but genuine, question, but does the rider not get paid for six points instead of three?

 

 

I'm pretty sure they didn't which was part of the problem for some riders.

Some did (or got a % of the double points), and some didn't, hence some of the discrepancy of wanting to do it.

 

As far as the 15 metre double thingy. I once was told by a rider that he refused to do it on certain tracks, as he felt that those tracks were too dangerous to go off 15metres.

So certain riders refused to do it. I refuse to jump out of a plane but I don't propose stopping those that want to do it from doing it. I refuse to watch the only way is essex but I don't see them removing it from the tele because I don't like it. Bring it back and anyone who doesn't want to do it can have that discussion with their team manager when the time comes. Meanwhile those who want "do it for the fans" can do!

They go off 15 metres when they touch the tapes so I don't know why a T/r should be any different.

And the Olympique at Monmore. Has that always been run on a handicap basis? Used to be the "Golden Wonder" Olympique in the days when the sport could attract national sponsorship.
