Explain these races

Win’N’ Out This is the opposite of a Miss’N’Out race. After a designated number of laps a whistle is blown for the first sprint. The winner of the first sprint is deemed the winner of the race and allowed to carefully withdraw from the race. Each proceeding lap sprint will produce the consecutive places from 2^nd to 4^th. Tip if you go for a sprint make

1lap2win:To win this race all you need to do is lead the race for one full lap! The rider who crosses the start finish line first owns the lap and is the only rider who can win the race. If this rider leads across the line at the completion of the lap he/she has won the race and will pull out. This will continue until we have the top 4 place getters

Handle Bar Tavern

• Again this year to encourage patrons over to the HBT I will be endeavoring to have jugs of beer waiting for us at 9:30pm
• Again this year we will have the cyclist’s special meal and video replay of the night’s action.

 

 

 

The old FNWTR Website still exists

• The old website is still the best place to get all you info.
• I will try and update it soon
• East to remember www.fnwtr.tk
• But if you are adding it to your favorites use http://home.vtown.com.au/~pcraft/index.htm
•   it has no pop ups

 

 

Divisions

• Again this year I intend to have 5 divisions. If numbers substantially increase more divisions will be introduced (or Split into two).
• Div 1- Serious “hard-core” top class athletes. This division hosts a number of Australian champions.
• Div 2- Only slightly easier. This division hosts some former and current Master World medalists.
• Div 3- Now we’re talking. This grade has fast racing for riders who race hard but train soft.
• Div 4- Love your racing but hate to train. This division is for those who are learning or those who just enjoy the fun.
• Novice/Div5- This is for first timers

 

Novice Grade / division 5

• Novice races are usually of a simple nature and are intended to be less competitive.
• Each night there will be 3 novice races
• Novice riders are not eligible to ride the round 5 combines
• Novice riders earn entry points but do not accumulate placing points towards the point score  
• A novice bunch will not exceed 10 riders
