Explain these races Sprint - - at RAW Track, sprints are usually run as 4-6 ups over 2-4 laps the first laps are usually spent sizing your opponents up and positioning yourself for the optimum explosion to the finish. It is not uncommon for a sneaky rider to attack early in the hope of holding a lead to the finish. The sprint is a test of power, speed and above all, tactics.
Winners Race- The race is over 16 laps. There is a sprint with 13laps to-go, the winner of this sprint qualifies for the final sprint, however he/she must continue to race, keeping a close eye on the winners of the sprints with 10, 7 and 4 Laps to go. Each of these riders also qualify for the final sprint. With 4 laps to go all non-qualifying riders must withdraw from the race. leaving a 4 up sprint to decide the final placing. You can work out all the tactics on this one. The Bombtrack Wheel-Race • This is a four race series.
• Rounds 1-3 are three invitational wheel-Races
• The three winners only are invited to ride the 1km Bomtrack Final
• Winner of the final wins a Bombtrack Script

Teams Night is always one of the best nights of the year, also one of the hardest to organise so please read on!Teams night. • This week will be one of RAW Tracks famous Team Challenge Night
• How does this work?
• As you sign on you will be allocated and assigned one of six team colours.
• Your team colour will be attached to your left sleeve.
• Teams will be
Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange and Purple • Every race you will score 5 , 3 , 2 and 1 point towards your team score.
• The point scouring rounds will be 1, 3 and 4 (no points for the Bombtrack W-R)
• Round 5 will be an Italian Pursuit using your colour team
• Team Points will determine the Ride Off order (1 v 2 for 1st, 3 v 4 for 3rd and 5 V 6 for 5th)
• The Italian Pursuit will determine the final results.
What is the reward? • Members of the teams individually will receive a bonus 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 point respectively towards the TWE series point-score.
• Again this year riders will not earn individual points for placing in races.
Why are we doing this?• Because it is a heap of fun.
• It is a great opportunity to
socialise with people you normally wouldn’t • A Div 1 rider will intently watch how his Div 5 team mate is going and may offer a tip or two
Team’s night procedure • Please ensure that when you sign on you receive a colour strip and a safety pin
• Record your colour on sign on sheet (in the correct column)
• Please pin your colour to your left sleave
Team’s night seating • Again this year I will set up 6 flagged areas. One for each team colour.
• It is encouraged/ compulsory that riders from each team sit in designated area.
• At the start of the night, all riders will be asked to relocate to their respective colour camps.
What if there is a draw on points • Should two teams be equal on points after round 4 and potentially be in different ride off’s (e.g. 2nd and 3rd tied)
• In RAW Track style, Scissor Paper Rock between team captains will determine the higher position.
