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.

Grade point scores are frozen (for series contenders)
• By this I mean that the Division you are in now on the point score will be the one you will earn points for the rest of the season, even if you change divisions.
• So if you move from Div 3 to Div 2 this week your name will remain in the Div 3 point score.
• Going down a grade is different and will be dealt with on a case by case basis.



No Novice racing in final week Sept 14
• To ensure we don’t all have a late night I intend to streamline the program on the final night
• First thing will be no Novice category
• If you couldn’t try track before week 11 of RAW you have missed out!

Who is hot and who is not (for TWE Point Series)


For week 11


   vs.  

Div 1:
Hot: Josh Cornish, Ben Harvey and Tirian McManus  
Not: David Browne and Michael Popplewell ...... David has slipped from first to third whilst Michael has a few young riders biting at his heels

What a difference a week makes! Josh Cornish was aided by McManus in his two point scoring races to secure the lead. Ben Harvey seems like the logical threat to the lead.
Minor places: Jack Edwards has National championships on this weekend and will miss this week almost ruling him out of top 5 contention. McManus must realise that he has a significant chance of a high placing.


Top 5 contenders
Josh Cornish    143
Ben Harvey   135
David Browne **   133
Michael Popplewell    128
Jack Edwards    125
Darren Cash    115
Tirian McManus   115
 



Div 2:
Hot: no one really!
Not: Bradley Heap lost out significantly on both his bid for the win and maintaining a top two position.

It looks like Scott Mills has done enough to secure the series win, the battle for 2nd to 5th is very much undecided.

Top 5 contenders
Scott Mills **   154
Bradley Heap **   139
Jack Schwarze   134
Michael Buckingham    131
Darryl Thorncraft    129
Geoff Baxter    122
 



Div 3:
Hot: Tom Bolton  
Not: Julian Yuen and Nathan Garard
Julian’s non appearance over the last two weeks have seen him plumet out of win contention.
Nathan lost the lead he had enjoyed over the last 6 weeks with a blinder of a night by Bolton.
.


Top 5 contenders
Tom Bolton    151
Trevor Smith    146
Ben Fox    144
Nathan Garard    143
Vic Svacek    142
Andrew Homann   138
Pete Murray    131



Div 4:
Hot: Spackman and Stelio
Not: Nigel Apps: Nigel has two weeks of less than brilliant performances, the former leader needs to lift his finishing game or risk being bumped completely.

Tai Huynh    150
Scott Spackman    146
Nigel Apps**   145
