Is it possible to have only some ILs be timer ascending?

Title says it all.

For Stunt Race FX, we have a handful of times tracked by the game which are ranked in ascending order, by "time remaining" instead of time elapsed. However, it appears that there is no way to have individual levels with both timer ascending and descending in the same game. In other words, if you use timer ascending for one IL, you must use it for all of them.

Any way this can be changed? Right now we have the times in question on the full-game leaderboard, which does allow us to mix and match the ranking behavior, but this is far less than ideal.

(We tried figuring out a way to convert the time remaining to time elapsed, but due to the way the game adds bonus time, this doesn't really work)

You can see the Stunt Trax board here: https://www.speedrun.com/stunt_race_fx/full_game#Stunt_Trax_NTSC

Create another IL category and mention in the rules which levels this category is for.

That's a reasonable compromise, thanks. I'm still interested in seeing if this can be made an option so that we can just have it listed as another IL but with a different scheme (so that there aren't dozens of empty categories), but I'll discuss SpiderHako's proposal with the other mods in the meantime.
