Interclub 2 – Results

Although the forecast threw some doubts on race day, riders woke to sunny skies and a drying course. It wasn’t totally dry with conditions changing throughout the morning, with mud combining with rocks to leave a challenging course for racing.

At the end of the race session, it was Jack Wright in for the win, closely followed by regular podium contenders, Sam ‘the banana’ Fraser and young gun, Niki Barber.

Big thanks to Red Hat for shuttling, Wassa for coming to the rescue of the trailer and stalwarts Gerald, Paul and Reesy for helping bring it all together.

We will work on the club pointscore, but it looks to be heating up between DRCC, Outlook and STH for the trophy.

Enter NOW

Example – we have 62 riders start, so after racing, we split the results into 3 Categories – A,B,C. There will always be prizemonies for A grade (fastest riders overall), however for B-Grade and C-Grade, these winners will be 22nd and 42nd overall. We will split category based on the following principles:
1. Split into number of categories to provide between 15-25 riders per category (ie. if we get 80 riders, we will have 4 categories).
2. When there is not a even number of riders to split into categories (ie. 62 doesnt go into 3 categories evenly) we will stack the higher grade category(s) with the higher number of riders (ie. for 62 riders, we would have A-21, B-21, C-20).
3. Prize monies for A-Grade and prizes for other categories.

Full face helmet compulsory. Please refer to MTBA Regulations for other protective equipment requirements.
