Explain these races Explain these races Sprint- – at RAW Track, sprints are usually run as 4-10 ups over 3-4 laps the first few laps are usually spent sizing your opponents up and positioning yourself for the optimum explosion to the finish. It is not uncommon for a sneaky rider to attack early in the hope of holding a lead to the finish. The sprint is a test of power, speed and above all, tactics. Winners Race- The race is over 16 laps. There is a sprint with 13laps to-go, the winner of this sprint qualifies for the final sprint, however he/she must continue to race, keeping a close eye on the winners of the sprints with 10, 7 and 4 Laps to go. Each of these riders also qualify for the final sprint. With 4 laps to go all non-qualifying riders must withdraw from the race. leaving a 4 up sprint to decide the final placing. You can work out all the tactics on this one.

Photobucket Suck! • Some may have noticed a lot of pictures on my website now display a notification (read ransom note) indicating that the picture has been used for 3rd party hosting. • This is from Photobucket or as I now call them Photofucket. • When I signed up to their service some 10 years ago, 3rd Party hosting was the sole purpose for their use and part of their contract. • Now they want $400 a year. I have deleted the account but they still display their ransom note • A big BOOO to this company who have no moral / ethical spine.
