RAW TRACK Newsletter 2009 sponsored by: (http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9215/68059609.jpg) www.Bicisport.com.au This week’s Races • Round 1 warm up Scratch • Round 2 “no event this week” • Round 3 ½ field sprints • Round 4 Point’a’Lap (Hillbrick Round) • Round 5 Round 5 Combines • Round 6 Race video replays, Cyclists pasta and beverages in the HBT. Explain these races Point'a'Lap- The race is run similar to a point score-however each lap is a sprint for first place only and worth one point. The overall winner is the rider with the most points. Half Field 5 lap scratch/sprint. Your Division will be split into two heats (based on point score rankings). So if there are 18 riders in div 2 there will be two heats each containing 9 riders. The race is run under standard scratch race rules. At only 1.25km in length this race is considered more like a sprint than a scratch race.
