Track Season

Racing is conducted on Friday nights during track season except for the first 2 or 3 weeks of the season when it is conducted on Saturdays, unless otherwise stated on the track program.

Racing commences at 7.00pm on Friday Nights and 2.00pm on Saturdays, the club requests that all riders pay their entry fee and pick up their numbers before 6.45pm and 1.45pm respectively. This then allows the race organiser to set the format of the evening/day. ie: Do any Grades need to be combined etc.

Format

Scratch Races: All riders in their grade commence at the same time.

Handicaps: Each rider in a grade is given a mark judged on their ability. Riders then need to aim to stay in front of the rider/s behind them and to catch the rider/s in front of them.

Pursuits: These are raced in teams (set by the handicapper) and can be raced as either teams pursuits or Italian pursuits.

Point Scores: Riders race a set amount of laps and must sprint at designated laps to obtain points. The rider with the most points wins.

Eliminations: Similar to a scratch race except that after a set amount of laps, the last rider over the line will be eliminated until there are only two riders, they then sprint to the line to determine the winner.

Please note: All handicaps are set by the club handicapper, if you have any concerns with your handicap or wish to apply to change Grades, please see the club handicapper.
