We have aspecial Kids Focvus on this Saturday: HNP League and Kids races Sat 28 July. Start 14:00. (Registration 13:00-13:45)League racing will be adjusted a bit to incorporate a couple of kids races in the afternoon program. Normal League racing (A & B Batch) will be watered down a bit with only a 6 lap scratch, 4-up match sprint and a longer scratch or points race if time allows. Jeremy will make the call if a new rider is allowed to ride in the normal racing batches depending on his skills and progress in the Saturday morning sessions. For the kids and new youths there will be separate racing depending on the type of bike you have. MTB, BMX and Road bikes will be grouped separately from track bikes. For the kids we have 3-4 races planned depending on numbers and if time allows. these races will be relatively short and will vary from 1, 3, 6 and possibly a 10 lap scratch race for those that feel they have the legs. Lets see how many kids we can get on the track tomorrow. Remember that the official youth league starts on the first Saturday of September. Please remember to bring drinks, Lunch etc. There is no shop at HNP.
