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.

Paced Scratch race - The pace in this race is set by a Div 1 rider. The bunch follows the leader for ??laps until, with 5 laps remaining the div 1 rider takes off leaving the bunch to sought out the winner in scratch race style finish.
Madison- A high speed, two person continuous race relay. Think of tag team wrestling meets track cycling - while one partner is racing the other is resting at the top of the track. This race is named after Madison Square Garden in New York where the event was first held. Two man teams contest the event, which is typically an endurance event. Only one rider from each team is allowed in the race at a given time, meaning that teams must take it in turn each lap (or more) to have a rider in the race. Changeovers are quite dangerous, but impressive to watch when done well - one rider circles around waiting for his teammate, who joins hands and imparts his momentum to the slower rider. At RAW Track we usually ride this on a scratch race format reference www.cyclingnews.com

A message from LACC to DHBC. BFV from LACC loves to take shots at DHBC at any opportunity. Last year he posted a gif each week and looks like doing the same this year.
An attempt by LACC to stop DHBC from getting more points.
