Crafty just posted this on the RAW forum:
Hi Guys
Some issues have arisen and at best the start of RAW will have to be delayed.
I apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued support
Looks like I'll be "tapering" for a few more weeks =P

25th June, RAW starts. Craft confirmed it only hours ago.
"The RAW Track season for 2010 will start on the Friday 25th of June.
As many are aware the later start is due to some issues that needed to be resolved before starting the season. The great news is that the contract has been secured for two more years. I would like to thank CNSW for their constant support throughout the process.
5 Divisions + Newbies
• Div 1- Serious “hard-core” top class athletes. This division hosts a number of Australian champions.
• Div 2- Only slightly easier. This division hosts some former and current Master World medallists.
• Div 3- Now we’re talking. This grade has fast racing for riders who race hard but train soft.
• Div 4- Love your racing but hate to train. This division is for those who are learning or those who just enjoy the fun.
• Div 5 –Too young, too new or just too slow. Bring it on.
• Novice/Div5- This is for first timers
•
Novice Grade
• Five years ago a novice grade was introduced and proved to be extremely successful.
• In fact we now have Australian Representatives who started track racing in Div 5
• Four years ago Kaarle McCullock did her first FNWTR race in Div 5 now she is duel UCI World Champion.
• Novice races are usually of a simple nature and are intended to be less competitive.
• Each night there will be 3 novice races
• Novice riders are not eligible to ride the round 5 combines
• Novice riders earn entry points but do not accumulate placing points towards the point score
See you at the track for week 1 of RAW soon. "

I'm tossing up between racing on Friday and resting my recovering injury. If I don't race then that's curtains for making the complete series.

In the combined round the top riders from each grade ride with the bottom riders of the next grade up. So for example the top div 3 riders will ride with the bottom div 2 riders.

Explain these races
[size=7pt]Sprint- RAW Track sprints are usually run as 4-6 ups over 3 laps (2 laps this week) the first few laps are usually spent sizing your opponents up and positioning yourself for the optimum explosion to the finish. It is not uncommon for a sneaky rider to attack early in the hope of holding a lead to the finish. The sprint is a test of power, speed and above all, tactics.
Winners Race- The race is over 16 laps. There is a sprint with 12laps to-go, the winner of this sprint qualifies for the final sprint, however he/she must continue to race, keeping a close eye on the winners of the sprints with 9, 6 and 3 Laps to go. Each of these riders also qualifies for the final sprint. With 4 laps to go all non-qualifying riders must withdraw from the race. Leaving a 4 up sprint to decide the final placing. You can work out all the tactics on this one. [/size]

I wish we had some numbers in there, because it would show that for the last time this year, im topping the DHBC A grade riders
I turned up wanting to ride c grade, haveing had three weeks off a bike, then doing 5 sepperate heart rates during the week as prep! no time on a real bike! the warm up on the night left me with really sore legs but i loved every minute of racing that i was in! just sitting in with those fast lads is trippy, and id forgotten how much i loved riding my bike! (if i was in the sprinting form i was at the sprint series, i would have won though but yes any one thinking about racing should totally go for it! i was totally smiling for over a day after this!

Our odds on the RAW forum of taking the overal club victory have improved as well.
look at our competition though.. Bisci sport are in there.. and they dont have all their riders yet... My arch nemesis of racing Dicko is riding for them, and i dont think ive ever beaten him in any thing?! maybe one out of 15 races?! if any one wants to learn how to race, keep an eye on him and browny in every race they enter!!
more importantly, notice my place in the A grade

That's a good story. It reminds me of a girlfriend i had once. Our dog went missing and she blamed me because I hadn't mended the fence. I went looking for it every chance I got, but couldn't find it. In the meantime our relationship deteriorated and then the girlfriend went missing. Some time later I discovered that she'd actually moved the dog to her new boyfriend's house to create a conflict scenario. Girls are from Venus. I miss the dog.
Subtlety is not one of my strong points.yeah i picked up on crafty's sublteness.

A very humorous read, just a shame that it actually happened to someone.That's a good story. It reminds me of a girlfriend i had once. Our dog went missing and she blamed me because I hadn't mended the fence. I went looking for it every chance I got, but couldn't find it.

112 is 4 lots of 28, and 28 is a perfect number.
So ... 112 is like perfect, but 4 times better.

To be totally fair.....I definately I jumped the gun!! There is no way I would be that close to the finish against Lise Benjamin without some kind of advantage.
It was good fun in Div 4. I especially liked the combine div 4 / 5 - at one stage there could have been a a DHBC finish for 1, 2, and 3 between Julian, Rhys and me...bummer the guy in Pink got us. Justin was up there some where but pulled out in the last few laps.

My car is in the smash repairs (someone backed into it) and I get it back Friday afternoon, but won't have time to go pick up my track bike. Has someone got room for another bike this Friday? I'll be taking it home.

News and Information
For Series 9 2010
For Week 3
July 09 2010
Week 3 Bring it!
Feature Race
The A’qto 1.5km Wheel Race
• This week’s feature race will be the A’qto 1.5km wheel-race in Round 2
• Riders finishing in the top 3 of the warm up scratch race from Div 1-4 will qualify
• In the event of a division being split, the top two of each heat will qualify
• Handicaps:
• Div 1 = 0m
• Div 2 = 50m-60m
• Div 3 = 85m-95m
• Div 4 = 140-150m
This week’s Races
• Round 1 warm up Scratch
• Round 2 The A’qto 1.5km wheel-race
• Round 3 Kierins
• Round 4 Point score
• Round 5 combines
Explain these races
Kierin- The keirin is a motorpaced event that is very popular in Japan where it originated. In that country, huge amounts of money are bet on races and professional keirin riders command impressive salaries. It is similar to the match sprint, but features 6-8 riders on the track. A derny motorbike paces the riders from 25 km/h up to 45 km/h for the first few laps. During this time, riders jostle each other for the best position and this is often the roughest part of the event. With two and a half laps to go, the derny bike pulls off and the sprint is on. Team tactics are important here, as the leadout is often quite long. If one team can get two of their riders in the final, then they are at a distinct advantage.
Reference: http://www.cyclingnews.com
Point score- Riders must score points by sprinting for intermittent sprints every ?? laps for bonuses (5, 3, 2, 1 points). Lapping the field scores a bonus 20 points, consequently losing a lap to the field scores -20points. Winner of the race is the rider with the most points.
Junior Development will not run this week

Hey i reckon we need more pics of our club members in between races, one of the big differences between us and a lot of other clubs, is the way we sit together, cheer for each other, etc (there are people that do it, but i think we seem to do it more, and a lot of the others are just friends in general, not the same club)
Hey guys points are now posted on http://www.rawtrack.com.au
Can someone help me out and tell me who .....Chris ?ee?? Dulwich Hill.......in Div 3 is?
He or she signed on in week 2 and I couldn't read their surname. Before we all say it is Christian Lees, he had signed on in the normal manner that week.

The "lube" stuff is great when you start doing more road kms, saves you from having a tender underside.
Dave Stevens is an interesting character:
2007
Dave first turned up to FNWTR in 2007 and signed on in Div 2. It was the night of the Div 2 handicap and as I had never seen him before, I asked him how he went in the warm up scratch race, to which he replied “dead last” so I promptly gave him limit at 140m. You can view race here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti5bUWmb94U
After the race I spoke to Stevens again (less kindly) saying “you said you finished last in the scratch race!” He replied: “Yeah I punctured” This is the last we saw of Dave that year.
2008
Dave rode RAW a few times in Div 1 nothing to write home about. His name started to appear on crit results around the traps.
2009
RAW started week 1 with Stevens being the best rider on points. From there not much else happened until the end of the season where he started to kick a bit of butt. Dave dominated the NSW masters 3 Pursuit and Scratch race Championships
2010
Dave has been concentrating on Pursuits. Most of his training is done either on track or on ergo (very little on road). At the national titles, he won Gold in the point’s race and silver in pursuit.
Interestingly I am told Dave is in the top 100 earners in Australia. He owns Brennan IT, hence he can afford his little toys like the Porsche 4wd and the bike.

he also races a Ferrari f430 in the Australain GT championship.
Cool thanx for the update on the opening night i asked him if he was Gav's new lead out man, im starting to wonder if it will be the other way around now!
(notice the cervello in the pic, he wasnt on that the week before, he was on a llook with some very fancy wheels!)

think I might apply for a job at this brennan it place - 430 driver required?
Great racing by Hugo last night! (slightly unlucky that a lad crashed behind you so none of us saw you cross the line)
I hope the young lad at the end is ok :S far out, the guy that was in the crash that crashed was looking bad from half a lap away! i was watching before crafty mentioned him, he was undertaking the whole field, nearly got taken out about ten times?! But there were a few dangerous looking riders?! i reckon the guy that came third in the wheel race was the worst! i noticed him in the warm up, then every race after that :S

Last minute withdraw tonight from me; chronic headache which only got worse today. Wanted to contact Crafty as he had me down for the wheel race but coudln't find any numbers. Hope to hear about safer riding this week.
Top 4 point scorers in Div 4 didn't show, so Vic, me, Nathan and Lise Benjamin were eligible to ride. I opted out knowing I barely survived the warm-up scratch, but the rest of the DHBC crew raced. Lise Benjamin led most of the way and got pipped by Div 1 at around the 2nd last turn - all she needed was one more strong rider to share a few laps - it was a good race....You could have been that rider Justin.Last minute withdraw tonight from me; chronic headache which only got worse today. Wanted to contact Crafty as he had me down for the wheel race but coudln't find any numbers. Hope to hear about safer riding this week.
I wanted to be there, I had even invested in a (cheap) set of clinchers with higher pressure tyres (brace yourselves for the eye-sore). But the 10 minute ride home took me 20, I was in bed before the race started.
I was pleased to see Lise still made 4th. And well done to mr annoying in 2nd.

man as soon as i looked at this rider order in the pics, i knew there was going to be a major split :S
i guess it would be hard to put anthony where he should be in this, as they dont know him :s he probably should have been some where with the b graders
People told me to watch for a split, but I hadn't competed in a team race before and I my legs got the better of my brain... The following italian pursuit, i was reportedly allowed to close the gap and then drop back, but didn't hear a word Crafty said over the PA. Lessons learnt. (Sorry Parbs)
No worries. Once Headturner swung off you accelerated very quickly rather than a steady build of pace and it took me by surprise. On the plus side I now have a new top speed on the track, but boy did that hurt trying in vain to close that gap back up.People told me to watch for a split, but I hadn't competed in a team race before and I my legs got the better of my brain...

Hoping to make it to training tonight after several weeks out but doubt I'll be hitting 58km/h.
I'll be missing this coming Friday though, don't like missing out

C'mon Rhys, up up up!
Just cross your name out from Div 4 and write it onto the Div 1 sheet, all done.

Last week there was talk of going to a Pub for dinner / drinks after racing instead of Oportos. The place discussed was called "The Three Swallows" and is on Liverpool road heading back into the city. Here is the info if we decide to go there -
