The Fast and the Furious(ness)
Join us for our second Wednesday night pro race of the season. Racing starts at 7:00 PM; gates open for riders at 5:00. In-store for your pleasure is The Fast and The Furious(ness), a night of short and fast races that will come hot and heavy. Riders must decide which matches and how many they want to burn per event.
The Fast and Furious(ness) is series of short races with a set amount of points per event that accumulate throughout the night, leading into the final race of the evening, which will be the Elimination. Riders will know how many points they're ahead or behind and will need to determine how long they have to last before they get eliminated to hold their overall points.
It can be a bit confusing to keep track of it all without the help of a good announcer; luckily, we have one, and he'll keep you up to date, minute by minute, lap by lap, sprint by sprint of everyone's points throughout the night while spinning some tunes to keep the energy high and you dancing in your seat.
We're also going to do the Marymoor Crawl, at least the DLV Version of it. It's the slowest and fastest race you will ever see. You'll have to see it to believe it.
Cost: The event is FREE for spectators and riders; your standard Season Pass or $20 for "men and women A's racing". ("A" riders, please get in touch with us if you plan to race. A/B riders, please contact us for an invite. B/C riders will be doing the same races, just a little shorter and with a few fewer points on the line.
Food: We will be grilling out and will have plenty of Burgers, Hot Dogs, and Chips for sale. Or if you like, bring along a picnic basket to help offset our food and beverage choices. (No glass bottles, please)
Pets: Per ordinance, dogs are not allowed at the Velodrome

RACE RULES:
DLV Mile: 5 Lap scratch race that is timed from the start line to the finish to try to break the DLV Record (Currently, only the Men have a record – Alex Gill in 1:52:00 from 8/29/15 - B/C & Women will be a new record)
Win-in-Out: The first bell will ring at the lap listed; first rider across after the bell lap wins.) The bell rings a second time, and the next rider across after the bell gets second. A third and final bell rings with third, fourth, fifth, and so on after the third bell. If you win the first or second sprint, please stay on the track until you can safely exit without hindering riders behind you.
Marymor(ish) Crawl: Marymoor with a DLV twist. This event is a two-lap race starting from the boards on the home straight. The first lap is an unknown/yet predetermined amount of time with the timer only knowing the time, then a second lap sprint once the time expires and the bell rings. The time for the first lap begins when all riders roll off and go beyond the start/finish line. Once the time starts, riders can only cross the start/finish once the unknown timed bell has rung. It is then a one-lap sprint to the finish once the bell has rung. Riders can get as close to the start/finish on the first lap without going over, whether by “track standing” or trying to “Guess” the bell. During the timed period, riders can go as slow as they want or “track stand”. Participants cannot roll backward at any point, even to set up to track stand; they cannot touch their tires with their hands or feet to help track stand, touch other riders, or touch the ground with any part of their body, and they
must stay on the track surface at all times. Any riders who fail to meet a requirement before the bell must then leave the
track immediately WITHOUT touching another rider. (unless they’re already off the track from not fulfilling the last rule)
Snowball: One point per lap from start to finish. Rider with the most points win. Lapping the field does not gain additional points. Lapped riders are not eligible for points. Ties are broken by finishing results on the last lap.
Elimination: This is a true elimination with the last rider of every lap getting pulled until down to the final bell to determine
the winner. The race will begin after a neutral lap, on the next lap, and all laps after, the last rider - determined by the back
of their rear wheel - will be pulled out of the race. The event will follow UCI Elimination Race 3.2.220 Race Procedure rules
POINTS:
Men and Women’s Series:
40 points for each win, 37 for second, 34 for third, 31 for forth, 28, 25, 22, 19, 16, 13, 10, 6, 4, 2, 1
