The officials will adjust number of laps for the time slot. It should
work out to be 30 minutes, plus one lap.

A women's race has been added to the September PIR Tuesday Night
Handicap Series.
The women's race will start at 5:50 pm, every Tuesday in September.
The race is open to all category women. It will be run in the same
format as the 6:00 pm novice race, and the 6:30 pm cat 1-4 race.
Entry fee is $5.00 per race, or $20.00 for the entire series,
September
6, 13, 20, and 27.
Women who have already signed up for the novice race, or cat 1-4 race
may elect to switch to the 5:50 pm women's race at sign in. Category
1-4 women may also elect to do both races, by paying an additional
$5.00 at sign in for the second race. Sign in will open at 5:15 to
accomodate the earlier start time.
Fort Frames USA has generously agreed to supply a Fort single speed
racing frame as the grand prize for the women's race series. All
prizes will be awarded at the end of the series. Prizes will be ten
deep, and will include gift certificates and merchandise.
The Tuesday Night Handicap Series is a "cat and mouse" style of race.
Category 4/5 women will be grouped together and given a head start.
Category 1-3 women will start aproximately 45 seconds later, and must
catch the category 4/5 women in order to earn points in hot spots,
and
in the final sprint. All participants do the same number of laps,
are
competing for the same hot spots and finish at the same time.
"Handicap" is similar to a "handicap" in golf, and refers to the
delayed start given to the higher category riders.
All riders must hold current OBRA licenses, or purchase a daily or
season pass at registration.
Riders can pre-register by printing an OBRA standard release form,
and
mailing to:
Steven Mullen
7314 SE 27th Ave.
Portland, OR 97202

Details concerning the women's race will be added to the race flyer
soon.
