Firstly, still two spots to fill on the volunteers grid. As well as regulars away it would seem a lot of people re not attending now that school has broken up and people are probably away, which means grabbing a random person tonight is not feasible. Fill the spots or no racing. Click here to put your name down. Which brings us on to point 2.

We have few riders signed up for tonight so far (if I discount those of you who’ve had an entry carried over for several weeks in a row, presuming you won’t show). It’s quite borderline as to whether its even really viable to run it tonight so if you want to race, get your entry in soon please. Click here to enter.

Thanks.

This Week

Still two marshal posts and an i-pad operator position to fill, at minimum, if we want to race tomorrow.

Don’t just presume someone else will do it, a lot of the usual volunteers are away this week, and the remaining two weeks as well so we need some additional hands to step up. Click here to put your name down.

Next Week

Still an empty volunteer sheet for the pursuits. Click here to put your name down.

COVID Restriction Easing

And what does it mean for us at Track League?

In short, very little.

• Our track limits are within the permissible minimum bunch sizes set at their most restrictive anyway.
• The track and trace QR check-in is still encouraged, so those will still be put on display.
• There is plenty of room for social distancing to continue. Please respect those who may wish to keep a social distance outside of the racing bunch and vice-versa.
• Entry will remain online only for the time being, as it saves a considerable amount of work on the day. We may consider bringing it back under different conditions.

Weather is looking good this week. Lets try and make it a final 4 weeks to remember.

League Entry

Sorry about the delay in the entry page being created this week.

Each week we have to move across any no-shows and also make sure that we bill anyone who didn’t pre-enter on the night. This all adds to the admin.

With that in mind, there are quite a few “late entries”, if we want to call them that, each week, and the same faces seem to crop up an awful lot!

Entry for track league is open until 3pm on the day so please enter online, as the additional admin of chasing post-race entry payments all takes time.

Pursuits

Our pursuits champs is up in a week or so’s time. There will be a separate entry form just as we had for the sprint champs. Keep an eye on your inbox.

Sorry about the delay, but entries for this weeks track league are now open.

Sprint Champs

Putting the disappointment, yet again, of a wet Wednesday behind us we can look forward to our sprint championships.

These run slightly differently to the other championships, in that, for the senior categories it is an “opt-in” championship.  This means you must sign up separately to compete.  Entries are free.  Heats are decided by a timed 200M sprint qualifier.  Heats are then run down to semi-finals, then lower finals and then upper finals (depending on entrant numbers).

Youth minor and major will have their own sprint champs but will proceed directly to seeded heats, rather than a 200M qualifier.  they do not need to enter online, all youth will be included automatically.

If you don’t fancy it, the schedule (click here) has races in it specifically for non-sprint champs entrants, so there won’t be a points imbalance if you do not enter.

Seniors should sign up here: https://www.riderhq.com/events/p/v8u91qxd/enter

Entries close 6pm on Tuesday.

With 80% rain chance at 6pm and 90% at 7pm and further rain later on lets save a wasted journey yet again this season.

Sprint champs next week. the sun always shines on those ….

As you may or may not have seen, the forecast has worsened significantly in the last few hours. Heavy rain is predicted about 6 or 7pm with around 80% certainty.

We are however, eternally hopeful, so will not be cancelling at this time.

Please be aware though, if you travel and it pours down, racing is not likely to restart.

As usual, no shows or cancellations will have their entry moved to the next week by default.

Fingers crossed.
