The riders start in a Time trial hold (No-Push) for whistle start. First one back wins. Easy 1 lap screamer record • 19.27 seconds set by Alex Bird on 4th June 2008 Snowball- Sometimes called a progressive point-score. The race is run similar to a point score-however each lap is a sprint for first place only with the points earned corresponding to the laps completed i.e. the winner of the first sprint gets 1 point winner of the 10th sprint gets 10points. The overall winner is the rider with the most points. 1 lap screamer procedure • Groups of 4 will be selected as you come up ramp • Riders will assemble at top of ramp before race • Holders will select a rider which will allocate a starting position 1 bottom 4 top • Riders are held for a time trial start on the pursuit line • The starter will say ready, Whistle. • Holders will release with no push! • Holders required • Please be prompt to your start.

Sign on’s and Licences • If this is your first RAW Track for 2010 you will need to show you licence • I record your licence as sighted and you are fine for the season. • Sign on’s are in Point score order. The famous TWE mid-season Wheel-Race will be held week 6 (July 30 2010)• The wheel-race rewards those who start the season strongly. • The top 4 of each grade (div4-div1) at the completion of week 5 will qualify for the wheel-race • each rider will be individually handicapped; any rider who I perceive to be sandbagging will be severely disadvantaged. • First prize is a set of custom built TWE wheels. These wheels will be professionally built by Greg Ryan to meet your specific requirements In 2010- No series prize for winner of Div 5 • Div 5 was introduced to be a stepping stone to riding in a higher grade • In the past, some riders have not progressed to a higher grade because they were highly ranked for the point series. Even though they had progressed in speed and ability. • To return Div 5 to its intended purpose and encourage riders to step up, there will be no series prize for Div 5 in 2010 • Riders will continue to score points in Div 5 and can take them up to Div 4 (as per RAW Track Constitution) |
