Explain these races Sprint- RAW Track sprints are usually run as 4-6 ups over 3 laps the first few 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.
Point'a'Lap- - The race is run similar to a point score-however each lap is a sprint for first place only and worth one point. The overall winner is the rider with the most points. No Novice grade week 1 We are hoping for a big turn out on week 1 so to speed things up we will be going with no novice grade.
This is a great opportunity for novice riders to come and see the flow of things
The Novice grade will start week 2 (June 22)
