Yup-

It's a different discipline subject to different pricing structures
and different type of racing.

I think the important thing to mention is that only a couple of events are that short. This may not be very obvious to beginners or people unfamiliar with the format of various track races.

The 200m time trial and the Kilo/500m night are very short events. The second week of time trials is 3k time trial, which is longer, but still shorter than the normal weeknight races since it is an individual timed event.

After these first couple weeks of timed events, the normal weekday racing starts. Thursday "omnium" nights are 3 or more different races, ranging in length, per group. And Friday also has a 3-race omnium for the novice groups. That's the most common format for weekly races, rather than the short timed events.

Really, complaining about $15? For your sake, never look at the entry fees for Nationals...

HI

I am wondering if I am interpreting the weekday alpenrose velodrome races correctly...Is it really true that we pay 15 dollars to race only around 1-2 mins?

But you get to suffer more per minute so it all works out.
