* OK, I am keeping the sprinters points race as a viable option, but trying
something new, the paced points race. This means someone, likely me or
Darien, will go to the front and pull at 23-25mph on the black line. Just
after the finish line with 2 laps before each sprint (every mile or 6 laps)
that person will pull up to the blue line in the corner. Riders are not
allowed to pass over the pace setter or at any time overlap above the pace
setter (riders will be pulled if they overlap). At the corner with two
laps, or a little less, to go the riders are allowed to do what ever they
want (sprint is the likely thing) and then the pace setter will come back
down from the blue line on the back straight two laps later (after the
sprint) and any riders that are off the front must ride above the blue line
and come back down track behind the pace setter before the next lap starts.
This means there is no attacking and lapped riders are pulled. So sprint
every 6 laps, 4 laps behind the pace setter 2 laps on your own, passing
beneath the pace setter and then getting back on the pace setter again for
actually just over 3 1/2 laps. Points will be 5, 3, 2 and 1 with no
doubles. I picked 6 laps cause it is a mile, and to make sure there at at
least 3 laps behind the pace setter.
*Another new race, the teammate tempo. This race is exactly like a tempo
race but no points for the leader, only second place, and you must be in the
lane. So it pays to have a teammate in the front sacrificing himself for
the rest of the riders. Points every lap and they are 0 points for first and
1 point for the second rider in the lane. Rider scoring points must be in
the sprinters lane, you can not pass to get points as there can only be one
bike in the lane at a time. You can pass at any time in the race, it is just
the second rider in the lane who scores points. The goal of this race is to
team up with a few riders and pass the whole group together and get in the
lane again. Final sprint will place riders without points, but again no
placing points for first, riders do not have to be in the lane for position
placing, but still do have to be in the lane for the single point.
*The black jack points race, points are 7, 4, 3 and the race is an all or
nothing, 22 points = you are out. Sprints every 3 laps and no gaining laps,
loose and lap and get pulled. Race is over one sprint after the first rider
to get 21 points.
* Points race Miss-n-out is easy, no points for the first 3 laps, then we
will start with points (2, 1) on the end of the odd laps (first one the end
of third lap) then pull the last rider on end of even laps, Bell will ring
for the getting pulled laps only, riders will be getting points as the bell
rings. Can't lap the field, lapped riders are pulled though. Rider with the
most points wins, rider who finishes best on miss-n-out rules wins any
tie-breakers.
Long Points races will be as long as light and the officials allow.
