This week’s Races• Round 1 Warm up Scratch
• Round 2 no race this week
• Round 3 ½ field Sprint (max 14 over 5 laps) Div 1 200m Fly
• Round 4 Group Handicap • Round 5 Combines + CNSW Time Blaster 8:37 for $200
Explain these races Half Field 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 28 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.
Group Handicap Basically a scratch race however on the start line you will be told if you are a front straight (stronger) or a back straight (weaker) rider in your division. The length is endurance so there should be ample time for the front straight riders to bridge across, but at what cost?
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.
