Snowball- Sometimes called a progressive point-score. The race is run similar to a point score-however each lap is a sprint for first place only with the points earned corresponding to the laps completed i.e. the winner of the first sprint gets 1 point winner of the 10th sprint gets 10points. The overall winner is the rider with the most points. Feature Races:
FAT-MANS • This week’s feature race will be the much anticipated Fat–Mans Wheel-race

Again in 2015- 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 retain Div 5 as its intended purpose and encourage riders to step up, there will be no series prize for Div 5 in 2015 Riders will continue to score points in Div 5 and can take them up to Div 4 (as per RAW Track Constitution)
• As in previous years 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.
