RAW TRACK
2014  

first race 7:05pm

Teams Night is always one of the best nights of the year, also one of the hardest to organise so please read on!


Teams night.
•   This week will be one of RAW Tracks famous Team Challenge Night
•   How does this work?
•   As you sign on you will be allocated and assigned one of six team colours.
•   Your team colour will be attached to your left sleeve.
•   Teams will be Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange  and Purple  
•   Every round  will score 5 , 3 , 2 and 1 point towards your team score.
•   The point scouring rounds will be 1 -4 (that’s every round)  
•   Round 5 will be an Italian Pursuit using your colour team
•   Team Points will determine the Ride Off order (1 v 2 for 1st, 3 v 4 for 3rd and 5 V 6 for 5th)
•   The Italian Pursuit will determine the final results.  


What is the reward?
•   Members of the teams individually will receive a bonus 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 point respectively towards the TWE series point-score.  
•   Again this year riders will not earn individual points for placing in races.

Why are we doing this?
•   Because it is a heap of fun.
•   It is a great opportunity to socialise with people you normally wouldn’t
•   A Div 1 rider will intently watch how his Div 5 team mate is going and may offer a tip or two

Team’s night procedure
•   Please ensure that when you sign on you receive a colour strip and a safety pin
•   Record your colour on sign on sheet (in the correct column)
•   Please pin your colour to your left sleave


Team’s night seating

•   Again this year I will set up 6 flagged areas. One for each team colour.
•   It is encouraged/ compulsory that riders from each team sit in designated area.
•   At the conclusion of the warm up, all riders will be asked to relocate to their respective colour camps.  

What if there is a draw on points
•   Should two teams be equal on points after round 4 and potentially be in different ride off’s (e.g. 2nd and 3rd tied)
•   In RAW Track style, Scissor Paper Rock between team captains will determine the higher position.


This week’s Races
•   Round 1   Warm up Scratch
•   Round 2  no race this week
•   Round 3  Sprint (max 10 up@ 4laps) Div 1 200m fly
•   Round 4  Points race
•   Round 5 Super Italian

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.
Point score- - Riders must score points by sprinting for intermittent sprints  every ?? Laps for bonuses (5, 3, 2, 1 points). Lapping the field scores a bonus 20 points, consequently losing a lap to the field scores -20points. Winner of the race is the rider with the most points
Sub-note: generally at RAW Track we do not allow loss of laps, rather call this a forced withdrawall

A message from LACC to DHBC.    
BFV from LACC loves to take shots at DHBC at any opportunity. Last year he posted a gif each week and looks like doing the same this year.

Battle a-brewing in Division 2
(http://static.squarespace.com/static/52cbd553e4b0422ecd64250a/53e56abfe4b0fcfc12f2d00c/53e56b0ee4b0fcfc12f2d079/1407544079968/rawtrack-8aug14-8196.jpg?format=1500w)
•   Whilst Baxter and Mandy were busy marking each other, they neglected Nosh Mistry
•   Nosh used his handicap over Baxter and Mandy to win round 2 and placed in the endurance scratch race to take top scorer for the night
•   with these points he has also taken the Div 2 lead overall
•   Sit back and watch this one and is going to be a melodrama
