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.


Sprint- at RAW Track, sprints are usually run as 4-6 ups over 2-3 laps the first 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.


Timothy McMillan and Jackson Law going to the Junior World Championship Moscow 17-21 August

•   Two RAW track prodigies are heading to Moscow to represent our country
•   Many of you will not be aware that a Junior level the costs involved in this fall upon the athlete (read Parents)
•   Added to this there is the additional costs in attending compulsory training camps most of which are in Adelaide.  
•   The whole exercise cost $7000 per athlete and think of the cost if the parent wants to go be a supporter/spectator.
•   We will be holding a fund raiser this week at RAW Track in a hope to raise a few hundred dollars to assist Tim and Jackson.

The Fund Raiser
•   Tim will be riding a 200m fly this Friday!
•   I am asking patrons to sponsor Tim for a unit of money
•   This unit of money will be multiplied the amount of 1/10th below 11 Seconds Tim rides.
•   Last year Tim road a 10.99 at RAW this would equate to 1 x $unit to be donated.
•   If Tim rides 10.8? this will equal 2 X $unit
•   Jackson will be able to aid Tim in his lead up to the fly.

Again in 2011- No series prize for winners 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)
•   As with 2010 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.

6 month Licence available
•   The Cycling Australia 6 month licences are available from July 1
•   If you wish to join ATTA-nsw, they have a representative at RAW track that can assist you.
•   ATTA-nsw offer a subsidised rate for joining and will have forms next to the sign on table.
