Ugly details:
- Racers without previous mass start track racing experience need to attend three Saturday morning new rider sessions or one “Race Ready” clinic before racing on Tuesday Nights.
- Racing is for all track license categories. You self-select the field you race in, but the promoter reserves the right to move riders to other fields (e.g. 5’s may/may not race the B’s)
- Upgrade points available when field sizes are met.
- Scratch racers are free to lose laps if the wish, but intentionally lapped riders can not play in the outcome of the race, nor can they sprint on the final lap.
- Points race sprints will be scored in the usual 5-3-2-1 format. Riders up one lap will receive 20 points. Riders down a lap will receive a 20 point deduction. Riders are free to go up and down laps as they see fit. Lapped riders will not be pulled but intentionally lapped riders can not play in the outcome of the race, nor can they sprint at the end of the race.
- USCF rules apply. All racers will follow the rules of the track or they will be watching.
- Later racers may warm-up behind early races and shall not interfere with the outcome.
- Results will be posted to www.ridethetrack.com.
- Co-promotion? This is an ambitious schedule and I may not make all evenings. Please contact me if you can help me promote this series. Racers- do not worry, I will find help.
