4. ASSESSMENT - MARKING FOR THE CALCULATION OF THE COMPETITOR'S SCORE

The marking system is as follows: An example of a score: A. The appearance and the technical adequacy of a motorcycle The mark can be from 0 to 22 points: The mark 0 points is given to an excellently restored and preserved original motorcycle. 22 points are given to a motorcycle that is in poor condition and renovated using non-original parts, but fulfils the conditions for taking part in the competition. Explanation of the marking system: - A non-original carburettor - 3 points - A non-original exhaust system - 3 points - MC version (Puch) - 15 points - Motorcycles with sidecars with a two-wheel drive - 10 points A Technical Commission shall decide on the appearance and technical adequacy at a technical inspection. The commission shall notify the competitor about their decision immediately after the inspection is finished. Their decision is final. The commission may decide that a vehicle does not meet the technical conditions, whereupon such vehicle is not allowed to the racetrack. The technical commission carries out the technical inspection of the cars, but does not assess their appearance. e.g. 10 points B. Competitor's year of birth Competitors born in 1970 or later will be given 35 points; older competitors will be given the number of points calculated from their year of birth divided by two. e.g. 1950 - 50/2 = 25 points C. Year of manufacture of the vehicle The year of manufacture is divided by two. e.g. 1952 - 52/2 = 26 points D. Engine capacity 3% of the engine capacity. e.g. 300*3% = 9 points E. Drive time One second is one point. e.g. 3 min 40 s = 220 seconds = 220 points Total score is the sum of all points. The competitor with fewest points is the winner. If there are several competitors with the same number of points, the older competitor is the winner. If the competitors are of equal age, the decision shall be made by lot. Total: 290 points

Motorcycle competitors will have two runs. The best time is considered in the result.

Car competitors will have one run only, the punctuality drive. The ideal time will be announced just before the start of the race. The cars must not stop during the run. The driver who arrives at the finish closest to the ideal time is the winner. The time is measured in hundredths of a second. As a rule, on the practise run the competitors have to get to the finish in less than 6 minutes. If a vehicle breaks down during the Saturday's practise run, it can take part in the race on Sunday.
