Explain these races Half Field scratch/sprint Your Division will be split into two heats (based on pointscore rankings). So if there are 18 riders in div 2 there will be two heats each containing 9 riders. The race is run under standard scratch race rules. At only 1.25km in length this race is considered more like a sprint than a scratch race.
Poker Race- ran on the same rules as the Point'a'Lap race however, instead of earning points you earn cards. On your first lap win you a card, on any additional point won you receive an extra card. The winner of the race is the rider who has the highest ranked card Ace Hearts being the highest and 2 of Spades the lowest. Don't worry you don't have to carry the cards with you, we keep them on the desk. Tirian McManus is going to the Junior World Championships • Congratulations to the RAW community who together have contributed over $1500 to assist Tirian in his quest to participate on the World stage
From Tirian on face book “Thank you SO MUCH! Everyone... The generosity of everyone is so touching and I really do appreciate it. I hope everyone have a brilliant night at RAW racing, I'll be back in a month to tear it up again
thank you once again everyone, your all amazing
