RACING

Capital BMX runs club racing on Sunday mornings through summer (Sept – April) at our track at Ian Galloway Park.

All ages welcome. Club bikes, helmets and gloves are available for hire. First three club days/Have-A-Go’s are free of charge, and after that we ask you to join the club or hire a bike for $10 a session.

Strider riders (strider/balance bikes) are welcome and free (we have two strider bikes available)

Start Times

Practice starts at 10:00am usually after Have-A-Go’s

Racing starts around 10.45am and finish approximately 12:30pm.

RIDER SIGNUPS

When you arrive, head to the points container and signup to your specified class. If you don’t know your class please talk to the person in the container. You will be added into a race class based on your ability.

Club racing is $3 per rider to cover our Sqorz race timing software costs.

All riders (Capital members, other club members and Have-A-Go riders) are welcome to race provided you have the full safety gear. We close registration at 10.30, so if you’re on your way and running a bit late, message us and we’ll add you in.

RIDERS READY

Just before racing starts. Groups and names are called out for riders to move up to the start ramp ready for their races. These races are called “Motos”

Racing Format

We generally start from the youngest riders and work up to the older ones. After which we start again with the youngest.

ADDITIONAL INFO

Breaktime

Head to the tuckshop for a ice-block or some lollies and rest up for our final race.

Fun Races

A fun race is a race that can be in a different format , sometimes a race with no pedaling (a pump lap), or a Le Mans start (where you have to run up the start hill to grab your bike and go), or starting at the finish line and riding backwards around the track.

Just agree with your race class what your fun lap will be, and go for it in moto 5.
