The races of recent years have been dominated by a small number of competitors who have excelled in their own right but perhaps, on occasion, made the results a little predictable. To redress this, the handicapped event was based on the competitor's time in last years championship 10. Each competitor had deducted from their final time the difference between their time from the championship last year and the time of Dave Stringfellow's winning ride. For anyone who did not ride the championship last year, and subsequently didn't record a qualifying time, then their time was based on a 1 minute reduction in relation to Dave's time. The overall winner therefore had the shortest handicapped time, even if they are not the quickest on the night. This may be an unusual way of handicapping but levels all, regardless of ability, gender, or level of technology.
