Week 9 Bring it! • Round 1 warm up Scratch
• Round 2 “no rnd2 racing this week”
•
Round 3 Div 2 – 5 ½ field sprint (max 12 over 5 laps) Div 1 200m fly
• Round 4 Mystery lapper • Round 5 Combines
Explain these races Half Field 5 lap scratch/sprint. Your Division will be split into two heats. So if there are 18 riders in div 2 there will be two heats each containing 9 riders. However the maximum in a field is 12 riders, so if we have more than 24 sign on in any division we will actually have 3 heats. 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. Here is a video, but please do not emulate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaW_2E_bPU0
Mystery- This is a standard scratch race however the number of laps is predetermined by the organiser and concealed. The riders are given a bell with 1 lap to go. 200m Fly procedure • A handler will be on the back straight waiting for you
• As the previous competitor goes past doing their final lap, you will be push started
• You will receive 2 laps to go as you past the start/finish.
• Upon completion of your Fly you will be allowed 1 warm down lap only vacating the track down the back ramp.
• The above procedure must be the same for all competitors
200m Fly, Record • The RAW/FNWTR record is held by Tim McMillan 10.99 Aug 2011
200m Fly, for non Div 1 riders • Every year, I get asked by a heap of riders if they can ride the 200m fly
• I must be mindful of the amount of riders that do participate, as this is a time consuming process.
• If you are not Div 1 and wish to participate, you must email me stating your reason for
consideration before 12noon Friday.

Junior Development this week • Please prompt for a 6pm start
• Senior warm up will be stopped for about 10minutes at 6:15pm
• First Junior demonstration event will be at 7:02pm
LACC proposed a challenge to DHBC this week • I made a modified challenge
• After this there has been much debate and proposed modifications on various forums with no real acceptance or agreement.
• DHBC are the rightful leaders in the Hillbrick club challenge through commitment to participation and will most likely continue on to be the 2012 RAW Club champions.
• Just to stir up the hornets’ nest a little! On paper DHBC had a significantly stronger team and would have most likely won the sub-fight anyway.
Canteen @ the DGV • Our good friends from Bankstown Sports Cycling club will again be running a canteen this Friday
• They provide a range of foods and drinks and well worth supporting.
• To allow for a prompt pack up please order you food before the last race of the night.
Wednesday training @ the DGV • Our good friends from Bankstown Sports Cycling club will again be running track training this Wednesday.
