Veloce Bicycle Handicap racing at PIR starts tonight! The weather is supposed to be great for racing tonight, 75 degrees and partly cloudy.

Description
'Cat and mouse' racing, with riders dividing into two groups. The first group will be given a head start, with the second group starting approximately a minute later. The second group must catch the first in order to contest sprints. Both groups do the same number of laps, and finish at the same time.

Registration:
Registration opens at 5:30, and closes five minutes before the start of each race. Registration is located near the start/finish area in the middle of the main grand stands. OBRA membership required: single-day membership for $5 or annual membership for $20. OBRA Categories and rules apply

Start Times:
Category 4/5 race starts at 5:50 p.m. Women's 1-4 race starts at 6:00 p.m. Category 1-4 race starts at 6:30 p.m.

Handicaps:
The chief referee will determine specific handicap times based on number of riders, results from the previous week, and number of laps to be ridden. Category 4 riders may ride in either race. Women and juniors may ride down one category. Riders may be pulled into the handicap group, at the referee's discretion.
