Pursuit night events

So far, we've done the pursuit nights with the same events. But, that can get dull so I've made some polls to see what kinds of events people are interested in doing.

Of course, this is just a dictatorship masquerading as a democracy -- the polls are really just to give me some ideas. Just cause one event gets a lot of votes, doesn't mean we'll do it.

So here goes:

Short sprint events:

Flying 200m -- you should know what this is

Standing 250m -- they run it at nationals and it was requested. This might be tricky since the start would be in the turns, it's hard to do a sprint event that way.

Flying lap -- one lap to get up to speed, then timed for the next lap.

Standing lap -- the Chariot race, but solo

Standing 500m -- The current short event.

Long sprint events:

Standing 750m -- Title says it all

Standing 1000m -- The current long sprint event

Team Sprint -- 3 riders, 3 laps. Each rider leads for a lap and then pulls off out of the race.

Shorter endurance events:

Standing 2000m -- Current short endurance event

Fixed time TT -- I did this once before. I pick a time, say 3 minutes (or 5 minutes if we do it for a long event). You go as far as you can in that time and we count the laps to the 1/4 lap.

2 Person TT -- Basically just a mini-team pursuit

Unknown Distance Pursuit -- This is one I've wanted to do but never felt evil enough. It's exactly what it sounds like: neither rider knows the distance in the pursuit (I will be nice and give a range, say no fewer than X laps, no more than Y) and you win by having the fastest time or catching the other rider.

Longer endurance events:

Standing 3000m -- The current long event (this is the elite omnium distance)

Standing 4000m -- This is the elite distance for the individual pursuit

Team Pursuit -- 4000m, 4 riders. Time stops with the 3rd rider to cross the line, so the team can burn a rider.

Australian Pursuit -- This is one that is more evil than the unknown distance. 4 riders on the track, the fastest rider is at the home straight pursuit line. Second fastest is in between turns 1-2, third fastest is on the back straight pursuit line, and the slowest rider is in turns 3-4. When a rider is caught by any other rider, they drop out of the race. The race ends when only one rider remains (either because the rest are caught, or because everybody else gives up). Pure evil, but entertaining.

The polls are split up so you can vote for each classification of events. It can be mixed and matched, so we can do a long fixed time, or we can do a 2 man 1k.

Most likely, I will always have competition distances (ie. 1k, 4k) and then use the 2nd event for something different.

If anybody has any other suggestions, let me know.
