Race Format:
The TPT races are held on a course of .50 - .75 miles in lap distance with 60 - 75 feet of elevation gain each lap.
Riders can initiate laps up until clock hits 00:00.
Lap counts are estimated based on first lap time.
Podiums based on most laps, lowest time.
Riders will cover around 4-6 laps during the 17-22-minute duration of their heat.
USAC points are scored for EACH race.
The Course.
We are NOT racing on the Dogwood trails.
Each week's course is a custom, hand-built track right by the pavilion next to Barker Field.
This course is VERY spectator friendly - bring the crew and your best heckle game.
And yes - it changes every week to keep it spicy. Stay sharp.
Course Drops.
We design each course the week of the race.
Registered racers will receive course drops via email.
The Vibe:
Expect elbows-out racing. Bring your lungs, bring your legs, and maybe bring an ice pack for that ego (short track has a way of finding you).
It’s fast. It’s ridiculous. It’s fun.
USAC Sanctioning and Points:
ONLY USAC annual license holders will receive points!
Annual license holders ranked in order of finish for reporting.
Forget to enter your USAC ID at registration = NO POINTS.
ALL 3 races are USAC XCC qualifying opportunities for Nationals.
ALL 3 races allow you to earn USAC points for XCC Nationals.
Timing.
The TPT is electronically timed. Your bib plate is your RFID timing chip and should be mounted securely to your bars (top of plate) and the bottom of the plate should be mounted to cables, or in a way that makes the number clearly visible from the front of the bike.
If you bend the plate, try to make it aero, don’t have it secured properly, or alter it in any way, we will NOT get a read. And that will mean all your hard work was for nuthin’ – so please don’t. Come find us if you have any questions on race day. Well also be checking on you.
Other.
Volunteers - We REALLY need volunteers to make this event happen and start on time.
5:00 PM (or sooner): we start marking the course
7:45 PM: course teardown
Please email [email protected] if you can help or show up on race day.
RVA Racing brings you bike racing, built by bike racers - We're grassroots, but professionally savage.
