teach you to keep your head up, and ears unplugged.

If the bell doesn't ring, no last lap !    btw you can
always ask fellow

racers, 'heh is this the last lap...'   But sounds like good
thing you

were boxed in, cause then you may have won the next-to-last lap
!   (not

that that is bad thing, it usually results in a degree of notriety

and entertainment for the rest of the racers :)




It was an unfortunate coincidence that when the lap board read
"1", the second prime bell was also rung.  Nor did the
racers know there would be a second prime (the more primes the
better!).  Hearing a bell ring with 1 lap showing in a Cat 4/5 race
could understandably create some confusion, even among old farts like
myself.  I like Mike's sticky tape idea.  Another good
suggestion was made by race officials -- start showing laps with only 9
to go.
