Explain these races
Win’N’ Out This is the opposite of a Miss’N’Out race. After a designated number of laps a whistle is blown for the first sprint. The winner of the first sprint is deemed the winner of the race and allowed to carefully withdraw from the race. Each proceeding lap sprint will produce the consecutive places from 2nd to 4th. Tip if you go for a sprint win it!

Mystery- This is a standard scratch race however the number of laps is predetermined by random selection by the organiser and concealed. The riders are given a bell with 1 lap to go.

The famous TWE mid-season Wheel-Race will be held week 6 (July 30 2010).
(http://www.rawtrack.com.au/TWE.jpg)
•   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)

:( I thought this week was going to be a madison.

Only two Madison's this season week 6 and week 9
