Race Descriptions :

Time Trials – Riders compete individually against the clock to record the fastest time over the specified distance from a standing start.

Scratch Race – The scratch race is a basic mass start race similar to a criterium on the road. All riders start from the apron and race for a set number of laps. After a neutral lap racing begins. A bell rings with one lap to go. The first rider across the line wins.

Keirin – The Keirin is a 6-lap race with 6-8 riders starting from a standing start. The riders draft behind a motor pacer for the first 3 laps with the motorcycle gradually accelerating up to 31 mph before it departs from the track. Riders draw for position prior to the race and must fall into order once the race starts, after 1 lap riders can reposition themselves as long as one rider takes the position directly behind the pacer. Once the motor pulls off, with two to go it is an all-out sprint for the finish line. Riders cannot pass the leading edge of the front wheel of the motor before it exits the track.

International Omnium – Points are accumulated in the first 3 races (scratch, tempo, elimination) (1st – 15, 2nd – 14, 3rd – 13, etc). Each point then won during the final event – the points race – is added to the riders point total. The rider with the highest score at the end of the points race is the winner.

International Tempo – after the completion of 3 laps the bell will be rung to indicate the start of the sprint laps. The first rider in each sprint shall be awarded 1 point, including the final sprint. Any rider that gains a lap on the main field is awarded 20 points and any rider that loses a lap will lose 20 points.

Madison – The Madison is a high speed, two-person relay. One partner from each team starts the race from the apron while the “resting” partner pedals slowly above the blue stayer’s line on the track. Partners exchange positions by pulling even with each other and then relaying or “slinging” the incoming partner into the race. Madison races may be run as a scratch or points race.

Match Sprint – Match Sprints involve a series of races, each with 2-4 riders. The sprint rounds may be preceded by a flying start 200-meter time trial to seed or select riders who will take part in the sprint heats. The race consists of 3 laps from a held starting position where the positions are determined by a random draw. The first rider to cross the line wins the ride and, in a tourney style race, moves on.

Miss-n-Out – This is another mass start race with all riders starting from the apron. After a neutral lap, the riders will get a bell indicating that on the next lap, the last wheel across the finish line will be pulled. This will happen every 2 laps until a predetermined number of riders (3 to 5) are left. The remaining riders are given a no pull lap and then the last lap is a sprint for the finish line with the first rider across the line winning.

Elimination – This is run exactly like the Miss-n-Out except it goes until there is only one rider is remaining.

Points Race – A points race is a mixture of sprinting and fast endurance racing. A predetermined number of sprints occur at set intervals. For a 250-meter track, sprints occur at 10 lap intervals. A bell rings with one lap to go before each sprint. Points are awarded to the top 4 riders across the line for each sprint (5,3,2,1), the last sprint has double points (10,6,4,2). Riders are awarded 20 points if they lap the field – or conversely have 20 points subtracted if they lose a lap to the main field. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins. Any ties are broken by the finish sprint.

Chariot Race – A chariot is an all-out one-lap sprint for the finish line from a held standing start. Holders can push riders but may not step across the start line. At the starting whistle there is one lap to go!
