RHC | Athlete Support


This is really cool, it’s hard to make it out all the “street events” around the country and world. Props to David and crew for doing this. The top 25 in the Championship standings throughout the series will be getting some help to make sure they can make it out to the next events in the series and for some of these guys that will be a huge help. So cool.

Peep all the details here.

RHC 2013: Qualifying Format


Trimble Racing just released the qualifying format for RHC in Brooklyn this year. I gotta say, it’s a pretty good format and I’m looking forward to this race. See you in Brooklyn!

Details:
QUALIFYING FORMAT

At the first RHC all registered competitors must participate in a open track session which will be held on the afternoon of the race. This session will be the only opportunity to pre-ride the circuit. The field will be split into multiple groups depending on the amount of registered riders and circuit length. Lap times will be taken during the session with the 100 fastest lap times advancing into the race. This will benefit experienced athletes, novices, and spectators. Elite athletes will now be competing in a field with an accumulative higher skill level creating a safer and more competitive race. Beginners who fail to qualify still have the opportunity for more competitive track time than the current lapped rider elimination format allows. Prizes will be awarded to the fastest qualifying time and determine call ups for the two front rows.

Rules for Round 1: Brooklyn, March 30th (subject to change)

- All registered riders will be divided randomly into smaller qualifying groups

- Each session is 30 minutes in length.
