Even though they had progressed in speed and ability. • To retain Div 5 as its intended purpose and encourage riders to step up, there will be no series prize for Div 5 in 2015 Riders will continue to score points in Div 5 and can take them up to Div 4 (as per RAW Track Constitution) • As in previous years Trophies are still awarded to the top place getters, along with the season DVD, however they receive no money or tickets for the prize pool.
