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 make
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.

The first live feed will be week 2, however this will be classed as a trial so we will not publicise it.

If all goes well we will run with 5-6 live streams, throughout the season. These will be publicised

From Peter Ford at www.cyclesportnews.com


Another day at Cycle Sport News was about to come to an end.

 

The tea lady had taken Guy Sebastian out of the CD player, and sanity had returned to the office floor.

 

A last minute flurry of activity had seen a handful of articles prepared for Saturday publication, and with everything on track, the evening staff could afford to bring out the Jacobs Creek. 
There was a warm sense of achievement that everything had been addressed for the day, that is, until someone had spotted Paul Craft’s photo in a large frame above the editor’s desk, and remarked, “Didn’t RAW Track start tonight in Sydney?”

There was an immediate burst of calamity

Staff members flew in all directions and computers were rebooted.

My God! RAW was on and we hadn’t given it one line of acknowledgement.

We had ignored Paul Craft’s plea to”Wipe the dust off the track bike, drizzle a little oil on the chain, put about 125+ PSI in the tyres and get (our) butts along to the DGV!”

The RAW track season for 2009 was about to start and we had failed the Great Guru, the messiah of winter track racing. 

It was too late to attract thousands of readers along to the first meeting at Dunc Gray Velodrome, but after putting this little offering together, we huddled around Paul’s photo and prayed for forgiveness.
