Start and Race Procedure

• Riders need to present for their race start at least 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled start time so that they can be called-up by Commissaires.
• Call-Up: Will be based on current NSW series points (TBC). Call-ups will be separate for each age category even if starting combine.
• Riders in timeslots with multiples categories racing with different race duration: Staggered (delayed) start for riders with shorter race durations with everyone finishing together.
• Finish: Race officials will calculate the total amount of laps for the fastest category based on the average lap times. The number of remaining laps changes as soon as the leader of the fastest grade crosses the finish line. Once the leader crosses the finish line the race ends for everyone else as soon as they cross the line. This means that for example, riders that are being caught by the leader on the leader’s last lap will not receive the bell (they were shown 2 laps but by the time they come around again the leader has already finished the race).
