This is from the nwcycling list, so could be a dup, but want to make sure
that everyone knows that this comming Friday night includes a special
juniors race. Also we will have the cub scouts at the track early on Friday
so that might add to the number of juniors for the 5/19 race.
So I am hoping to see all the junior riders on friday night.
---------------------------
The Marymoor Velodrome Association and Alpenrose Velodrome would like to
welcome
each junior to the newly developed Larry Burkey Memorial Junior Track
Series, an
8-race series spread throughout the summer at both velodromes in
commemorative
of former Team Washington coach/rider and frequent Marymoor Velodrome racer,
Larry Burkey.
The main details:
Race Dates and Races:
Races at Alpenrose Velodrome (Portland, OR)
May 19 - 5x2 Win-n-out
June 16 - 12 lap scratch race
July 14 - Miss-n-out
August 11 (double points) - 20 to 40 lap Points Race
(all of the above races are on Friday nights, starting at 6:30 pm)
Races at Marymoor Velodrome (Redmond, WA)
June 2 - 4x2 Points Race
June 23 - 4x2 Points Race
July 28 - 3x3 Points Race
August 25 (double points) - undecided at this time
(all of the above races are on Friday nights, starting at 7:30 pm)
The series is split into three different categories as explained below:
Junior A = any 17-18 years old, 15-16 years old - USCF/ACA Cat 1/2/3, 13-14
years old USCF/ACA Cat 1/2/3
Junior B = 15-16 years old USCF/ACA Cat 4/5, 13-14 years old USCF/ACA Cat
4/5,
and any 10-13 years old rider
Women = women will race in their own category subject to participation
Entry fee to each of the above races is $5 which will include a bike rental
if
needed.
Points are placed 8 deep in each category and each race and will be totaled
at
the final race to determine the winners from each category. Category winners
name will be engraved on the Larry Burkey Memorial Junior Series trophy.
Other
prizes may be offered to category winners and will be announced once
available.
For those juniors who have recently signed up for a Marymoor Track class,
this
would be a great way to do some races, especially under the Friday night
lights
and in front of the upper division elite track riders.
If any non-track racing junior interested in the Seattle area, please
sign-up
for a Marymoor Junior track class by contacting Renee Duprell (206)
344-3538.
Junior track classes are free of charge.
Likewise, new velodrome racing juniors at Alpenrose are required to attend
Wednesday night track classes to race at the Alpenrose Velodrome. Contact
Mike
Murray for more information: mmur-@teleport.com .
Questions about the series can be sent to Rob Whitacre at
RWhita-@montana.campuscwix.net .
So brush off those rider uniforms and come out under the sun and lights at
both
the Alpenrose and Marymoor Velodromes to race and have fun with other fellow
juniors racers.
