INTRODUCTION
The following is intended to serve as a guide to all the championships run by Ilkley & District Motor Club Limited for its members and the other major awards which are presented at the Annual Prize Presentation. Any of the regulations listed may be changed subject to approval by main committee, such changes will be detailed in the newsletter.
It is not our intention to produce a new set of these regulations each year for every club member, so it is in your own interests to update your set of regulations with any changes. New members will receive an up to date version of this booklet. A re-issue will take place in future years only if the scale of changes since the previous issue justifies it.
IDMC runs fifteen competition championships in total, listed in sections B to P. Section A lists common regulations for all these championships in the interests of not repeating large chunks of text as well as simplicity.
The championships fall into two basic categories. Those listed in B to H are for events run at National B level and above, not just within IDMC, and cover most disciplines of club motor sport. If you wish to claim points in one of these championships you must submit results to the relevant championship coordinator. Those in I to P are for IDMC Clubsport or Clubmans events only - points are scored for you automatically in these championships so you don't have to worry about claiming.
Unless stated otherwise, the Championship Coordinator is:
Stuart Taylor, 59a Saltaire Road, Shipley, BD18 3JN, 07855 163134. stuart.taylor@centa-uk.co.uk
The Awards Secretary is:
Nick Cooper, 29 Guycroft, Otley, LS21 3DS, 01943 468597. awards@ilkleymotorclub.org.uk
Many of the championships are scored on what is referred to as the 'Yorkshire League' scoring system. The calculation for this is as follows:
Points scored = number of competitors beaten in class expressed as a percentage, plus 5 points for starting and 5 points for finishing an event.
E.g. Finishing 3rd in a class of 12 scores (9/12) X 100 = 75.0 + 5 for starting + 5 for finishing = 85.0 points.
For reference, the sections at the end of the booklet detail all other major annual awards and how they are won, as well as the awards presented for club night and other events.
Competitors are reminded that competing on ANY IDMC EVENT, either on or off road, does not preclude them from the provisions of the Road Traffic Act. Anyone successfully prosecuted for an offence committed during an event will be excluded from the results of that event. Further action may be taken by the Club and / or the MSA in the case of serious offences - please take care during events, enjoy yourselves safely!
