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 sure you win it.

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.
