But from previous years, 1D downwards you wont get many, just the very odd few extremely strong guys who genuinely don't belong there anyway and end up basically riding a solo race. Just out of interest what is your seeding index? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plane^driver Posted February 16, 2023 Share In regards to seeding queries, in pervious years has anyone done so at registration and been successful? My last seeding race showing on Racetec is from 2020, but I am riding the Herald in PE this weekend which will drastically improve my seeding. I guess there is no harm in asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so im in 1F but this excludes the 99er. My index is 40 so Im hoping after a reseed I’ll get to jump up 1 group. But yeah, looks like sub 3 not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's lower on PPA due to 99er and racetec have you on 40 with a previous result before 99er, Then query seeding and get a re-seed. If you did a decent 99er then you might get up to even 1D which will still give you a fair chance.  throttles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as I mentioned, at registration but I bet they will still get 100s of emails and calls. Ill just wait and see what they say at registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie321 Posted February 16, 2023 Share I really hope they use the 99er results if you query, because then I could get into 1B or maybe 1A with a stretch. FootballingCyclist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted February 16, 2023 Share The funny thing about this ctct story is that I keep telling myself it's not in any way important to me cos I do so.many other interesting and harder events yet I still fuss and fret over my seeding and mentally rehearse my ride .... Fastest is 3.10. I confess I really really want a sub 3 Kimikaze, peetwindhoek, Long Wheel Base and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
