Explain these races 1 lap Drag race- Riders draw lots to start in position 1-4 up the track. The riders start in a Time trial hold (No-Push) for whistle start. First one back wins. Easy
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. 1 lap screamer record • 19.27 seconds set by Alex Bird on 4th June 2008
1 lap screamer procedure • Groups of 4 will be selected as you come up ramp
• Riders will assemble at top of ramp before race
• Holders will select a rider which will allocate a starting position 1 bottom 4 top
