Friday Night Racers,

I'm considering putting on a FNR consisting of only individual
pursuits, team pursuits and team sprints for both male and female
riders.

To make this happen in an organized and cohesive manner I'd like to
know if we can get a sufficient number of volunteers to serve as
holders, timers and officials.

By my estimates we would need a minimum of 4 holders (ideally 8 to run
team pursuits two at a time) along with 2 timers (4 if running two
TP's at a time) and two officials.

So we would need 8 volunteers at a minimum. Any takers?


Thanks,

Javier

Javier,

Running the individual pursuits etc. as two ups is fine and does make things a lot faster.
However, there is no reason to run team pursuits as two ups. I don't think there will be as many team pusruits, it is not as safe with two teams on the track, and requires a lot more volunteers, so I suggest only running team pursuits as one up rides, which is how it is always done in qualifying at any major event anyway.
I will gladly help as a timer.

John

Thanks John for your comments and for volunteering.

One thing I failed to mention is that I would be limiting the number
of riders for each event. Most individual events would be limited to
16 riders and team events to 6 teams. Typically I don't think we see
that many riders unless it's states or a Nat's qualifier, so I think
we should be okay.

I am creating a race schedule and I think we should be able to get
individual pursuits, team pursuits, kilos, 500m's and team sprints in
about 2.5 hours assuming we have full fields. If we have very small
fields in the IP we might be able to run a final round for 3rd and
4th and 1st and 2nd.

Just some thoughts... Once I get a bit more feedback and committment
I'll officially volunteer to organize the event.

Javier,
I could help hold or time (or maybe race in a 500m and team
sprint if my teammates will join me), but I'll be gone a couple of
Fridays, so it depends on when you'll have it.

Thanks guys. I'll check with the SDVA to determine a date. It would
likely be after Elite States as I am out all of next week.

I will keep updates posted on the site.

Javier
