Event Description

***THIS RUN IS AN INTERMEDIATE SKILL LEVEL. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH SPEEDS UP TO 60KM/H DO NOT RACE***

All members of WAR are invited to come along for a rad day of racing, drafting and slamming. The track is a new run with an average speed of 50-60km/h, which has super smooth road, a few turns and straights, and a tight right hand sweeper which is hit at 65km/h tops. The track is around an intermediate difficulty, so if you're not comfortable on zigs we don't reccomend racing.

There will be two divisions, groms and non-groms, with groms being defined as 15 years old or younger.

Our aim is to have two 24 man trees, one for each division, with a $10 buy in for all competitiors. The race is IGSA rules, so no bump drafting, training, pushing or pulling unless absoutely necessary. Helmets (Fullfaces reccomended), kneepads and gloves are a must.

If you don't want to race but are available to help out please let me know, as we'll need marshalls, starters, place-keepers and spotters. Also if you have walkie talkies we could borrow for the marshalls and spotters, please let me know.

The general plan for the day is below:
~10.30-11am, rider's registration (first in best dressed, only 24 spots available in each division).
~11-11.10am, riders meeting.
~11.10-12pm, practice.
~12pm onwards, racing.

Mainly uni work is piling up for me and the other guys, but also the slide jam got delayed and the times are really close to each other, also, we are concerned about the weather. We have moved it to the 8th of July, so its in school and uni holidays.
