Introducing: Track League! Tom & Jerry. A simple set of Match Sprint events, once per track league session. Why? Because we all could use a little more experience in the finer craft of cat & mouse Match Sprinting!
Proposed dates: Saturday afternoons on: May 12, July 21, Aug 25. Afternoons are preferred, because sprint muscles work better in the warmth of the afternoon. And hey, wouldn’t we all rather sleep-in a bit on Saturday?
Structure: Thinking we’ll do some flying 200s to seed, and then run the matches from there. Track League Points will be awarded for results.
P.S. The name “Tom & Jerrys” - it’s a nod to the old-school fun of Saturday morning cartoons, and an attempt to illustrate that these events are more about having fun and learning, than something to be taken too seriously. Of course, hopefully the cat & mouse thing is obvious!
May 3rd - August 30th
This year be prepared for ULTIMATE FUN!
284km of track 10milers (including Neutral lap)
18 weeks of TL!
3 seasons
1 track
Cost: Try TL! for $5 first night ($40 for the seasons)
The rotation of the Earth this fine year has enabled us to have ONE EXTRA WEEK of TL! fun. Ss we decided to keep with the theme of changes and change up TL! Primarily to keep y’all on your toes. But really to add a little more spunk to the race, yes, spunk. This year there will be “seasons” 1, 2, and 3. So if you have to be gone for part of a summer but kick some searious butt during your time here you do not lose out on TL! points. As well, we will still be having the 10miler once a week - with a even more epic Leader Board! The title belt may even make an appearence this year…
Check out the 2012 schedule under the heading “Track Jazz”.

The start of summer brings sun, ‘longer’ days for rides AND Feature nights at Track League!
There will be 3 “Feature Races” and 1 “Feature 10 miler” sprinkled throughout the remainder of the summer to help spice things up a little.
What IS a feature event? It is a race with money on the line.
In the Featured races 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be awarded to Elite’s and Expert’s, and 1st and 2nd will be awarded to Sport’s.
