Please note that there is no Wednesday night track race scheduled next
week at Hellyer. The Friday night track race (previously scheduled June 3rd) was
cancelled due to Eric Peterson's health issues. Because the Friday night
race has been cancelled, we will update the schedule below so all categories
can compete on Tuesday night. Category 3 will race with the 1/2/3 and the
Women's will be open category. (If less than six women are in attendance, a
4/5, 3/4, and 1/2/3 group will be run)
* May 31*
* *Category 4/5 – 15 lap Points (@5)
Women – 10 lap Points (@5)

>The regular season at Marymoor is approaching quickly,
>and Tela Crane wanted to send out a few reminders and announcements:
>
>The weather is unfortunately still not always cooperating in our favor, so be sure to check the MVA twitter feed for any updates on race cancellations: www.twitter.com/marymoortrack. We'll try to update starting at 5pm on race nights and make a call as soon as possible if we're canceling racing for the night. (We no longer have an info phone line, so twitter is your way to keep on top of things!)
>Wednesday Night Racing starts one week from today, June 1st. Racing schedules should be posted by the end of the weekend. Wednesday is open to Masters 35+ and Categories 4 Men and Women
>Friday Night Racing starts June 3rd! We have some exciting changes to the racing program that should make for a great season!
>For the final Preseason Friday Night Racing and the first regular season Friday, we'll be closing the track at 6:30pm to conduct 200m time trials. These times will be used to assist with seeding for keirins, chariots and other sprint events on Friday nights throughout the season, and will be conducted a on first come-first served basis when rider's check in at registration (we'll do 15 times each night). If you want to ensure good seeding, make sure to get a 200m time! Please plan your warm up accordingly for those two evenings.
>We are looking for people to help with rental bikes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the season. Ideally someone would commit to helping out on a given night for the season, but at this point, I just want to be able to ensure that we have the positions covered each night. For each night you help, you get a voucher for a free night of racing!! Please email me if you're interested.
>I'm also looking for help with the Velokids classes. Classes are 4-5:30pm on most every weeknight (schedule here:http://velodrome.org/mva/node/17) and this is a PAID position. Please contact me if you're interested in hearing more about what the position entails.
>Hopefully the weather will start getting better!
>
>See you at the track soon.

>KEEP YOUR RACE SCHEDULE FILLED IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO UPGRADE
>All track upgrades are processed and approved by USA Cycling and the SCNCA
>with recommendations from velodrome managers using the following criteria:
>http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=2626
>
>Track Categorization Guidelines - Upgrades
>Rider upgrades are handled electronically. You can request an upgrade online through your USAC account. The request will be sent to the person responsible for your area and/or category. You will need to follow the instructions online and provide the information about your race experience and placings. The information you provide must include the race date, name, type of event, category, number of participants, and placing. If the administrator approves the upgrade, your account will be changed so that when you request a new license, the category will be changed. For road, track, and cyclocross category changes, local Association representatives will also provide stickers for your license if you are not requesting a new one. Note that road, track, and cyclocross category 1 and mountain bike Semi-Pro and Pro upgrades require a license reissue. A mountain bike Pro license must be an international license.

>
>All track upgrades and downgrades are made through the local association.
>
>Please DO NOT send your license. Contact your Regional Coordinator via phone or email with questions or circumstances not addressed in the rulebook.
>
>
> Track Upgrades
>Track upgrades and downgrades are made through the Local Associations and Regional Coordinators. Only results from a USA Cycling permitted event may be considered for an upgrade. All track upgrades are processed using the following criteria:
>
>Cat. 5 to Cat. 4 Complete a Velodrome Class or 4 race days.
>Cat. 4 to Cat. 3 5 race days and 20 points
>Cat. 3 to Cat. 2 5 race days and 25 points
>Cat. 2 to Cat. 1 5 race days and 30 points
>
>Points:
>National championships, Category A, B, or C track race will be 7, 5,3,2,1 for each event.
>For all other events, upgrade points are 5,3,2,1 and are based on an omnium of the event’s races.
>
>Attendance at a USA Cycling Development Camp will count as one qualifying race for category 5 to 4 upgrade. It will also count as 4 upgrade points for a category 4 to 3 upgrade and 3 upgrade points for a category 3 to 2 upgrade.
> Additional Considerations:
>
>1. Ten person field minimum for category 3-5 and 20 person field minimum for upgrade to category 1.
>
>SUPPORT LOCAL TRACK RACING - BRING A FRIEND (OR TWO)
>
>2. Fifty percent of Upgrading points and number of times raced will be carried over to the next year.
>
>Points do not carry over to the next category.
>
>3. When upgrading to a Cat. 1, points earned need to be from more than one velodrome.
>
>4. A race day is defined as one full day of racing. A race day can include a number of events such as a
>kilometer, sprints or time trial, but it only counts as one race day.
>
>5. Women and Juniors earn one point for every five race days when upgrading from Cat. 4 through Cat.2.
>
>6. Races exempt from upgrading are Youth races and races of more than two categories (i.e.: “A” and “B” races).
>
>With the approval of USA Cycling, riders who are Pro or category 1 on the road may be upgraded to category 2 on the track and riders who are category 2 on the road may be upgraded to category 3 on the track without first having to begin at category 5.
