    Diagonal grid rows for race start

    This was brought up and shot down last year. Here is the original thread if you want to read it. Lots of BS but also some helpful info in there. I am going to propose this again for the 2011 season:

    http://forums.mra-racing.org/viewtop...agonal&start=0

    This is what I propose to go towards for 2011:





    All riders would be spaced equally going down the grid. This would give a slight advantage to the 1st place guy over the 2nd place, 2nd place over the 3rd place, and so on. Instead of going three wide then a space, it would be equal all the way back. There would be no "overall" increase in grid length exect for the last two bikes of the last row would be a couple feet further back. Position 1, 4, 7, etc would all be in the same spot as they are now with only the middle rider being back a few feet, then the outside (or inside) rider being back a few feet farther.

    Ahh I understand it now that there is a nice big picture!

    I will vote for the change, and considering im one out of the 5 people that showed up last year I think there is a good chance of this happening!

    AMO never gets moved, and probably never will get moved. I wanted that to happen last year.

    If you can find where AmO being last in the Sunday schedule is listed in the rulebook - then yes, you've got a great chance of making it happen! :wink:

    Ben and I were there for years and years arguing about this or that obscure rule, so I am sure everyone is happy when we are NOT there.
