As the Grand National, except that jockeys are awarded a one yard bonus for every item of clothing they remove on the way round the course.
Although the idea sounds silly (undoubtedly it *is* silly) but actually, Strip National holds true to traditional sporting values: removing your clothes while
riding and jumping would be skilful, dangerous, and would involve tactical decisions (should I concentrate on urging the horse forward, or try to steal a yard by removing my left sock?)
And there might be some small element of comedy involved too.
Although the National is a fantastic spectacle in itself, the Strip National would appeal to a new audience and would certainly be of interest to a certain tier of media outlet.

those little guys would probably cheat - silk is so easy to rip. |
|
| |
could they leave their boots on? |

//tactical decisions//
Kinda like strip poker. [+]
Good to see you again, [Fishy]! |
|
| |
All very funny until some randy stallion mistook a jockey's back passage for a winking mare.. then even funnier! |
|
| |
Do you have much experience riding, [Fishrat]? Will velcro be allowed? |
|
| |
I can't ride to save my life. However, my girlfriend (sorry - fiancee as of last week) has a horse so I do spend a bit of time around the stables. |
|
| |
I find it hard enough staying on top of a horse when it's just plodding along, let alone trying to de-trouser at 40 MPH. |
|
| |
However, I'll not soften my rules: No velcro allowed! |
|

//...fiancee as of last week//
Congrats, Fishrat! Oh and I love the statement "...let alone trying to de-trouser at 40 MPH." Yes - its probably a lot tougher than it looks. |

Standard techniques would surely catch on: |

"And straight out of the turnstiles and all of them using the Palmson technique to lose the shoes, first seen in the 2004 derby, it's a beaut' of a move there." |

| |
Leaving the jockeys in nothing but boots and helmets. |
|
| |
Congrats on the fy-ants. I suggest specially designed seams for easy clothes ripping. |
|
| |
Socks and shoes will stay on, however. At least if I'm riding. I think I'd look pretty dashing in just knee-high boots and a helmet and goggles (off to the tanning booth). |

[fhlish] I take your point, but I'm sure some items could be taken off while maintaining a decent speed. That would be [thechallenge/2]. |
