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 Final Brought to you by Pushie • This is the final of a four race series.
• Rounds 1-3 were invitational wheel-Races
• The three winners have been invited to ride the 1km Bomtrack Final
• Winner of this final wins a Bombtrack Script

The finalists and my prediction of time are: 1. Matty Jays: 1 minute 15 seconds
2. Harrison Bailey: 1 minute 11 seconds
3. Jade Perry: 1 minute 28 seconds
• Based on my predictions for a fair race Jade will start the 1000m event on 0 seconds, Matt will start on 13 seconds and Harrison will start last on 17seconds

1. Matts reserve is: Lizzane Willmott : 1 minute 18 seconds

• So if you move from Div 4 to Div 3 this week your name will remain in the Div 4 point score.
