folks might already have a planned out start method, but here's one that I think would work perfectly for this race..
You would split everyone into groups..
depending on those that are really in contention to WIN, your first group would be those riders.. then divide the remaining folks into 2 or 3 smaller groups.
- Those that are in it to win it would be line 1. They would rig, launch and ready to go on the mark.
- Those in line 2 would have their kites ready.. but not launched.
- Race time Mark and line 1 goes.
- Line 2 launches and there is exactly a 2 minute Gap
- Line 3 ready to launch as soon as Line 2 goes, another 2 minute Gap
- Etc Etc..
- If everyone has a number like last year and they are in the appropriate line they can mark their time minus the Gap minutes.
