LOUISVILLE STXC #1- JUNE 4th

SHORT. TRACK. RACING

Here is everything you need to know for the JUNE 4th STXC race!

Eva Bandman Park at 1701 River Rd. Louisville is where it will happen.

PARKING:

* Anywhere in the mowed area of the grass field. Just dont get stuck.
* Along the side of the road in the park, dont block it!
* At the bottom lot down by the river.
* If all of that fills up, Waterfront Park isnt far away, and if you know how the greenway trail that comes through Eva Bandman connects that could be a good option.

CHECK-IN/REGISTRATION:

You must check in to get your plate. Please do this as soon as you get there so you have plenty of time to get ready for your race. We wont wait on you! If you are registering day of, it will still be through the website. We do this because it pulls your data directly into our timing system and this allows us to keep the show rolling without delays.

START TIMES:

Start times are posted by the category you registered for. They are also on a few graphics floating around on social media.

HOW DOES STXC WORK?

The most laps you can do in given time for your category wins the race. Simple as it gets.

CHIP TIMING:

This is a chip timed race. You dont get scored if you dont rock your plate. Dont cut your plate to be aero either, please.

WHAT BIKES ARE ALLOWED?

Anything is allowed. Mountain bikes (non CX/Gravel/Drop bar) bikes will be scored towards podium/points. The other bikes you will get a time, get to race, have fun. We will just ignore that result when tallying podiums and series points. We want EVERYONE to race, no matter what bike they have. We also have to protect the integrity of the race equipment.

START LINE:

It will be down by the big tree. You will see a couple start signs near it. Go there before your race starts!

COURSE NOTES:

It will start on pavement, head down the hill, make a sweeping left before a small punchy climb, some rollers, sweep left again before darting into the woods for some prime dirt (even when wet), a lollipop in the lower field, back into the woods before going up Its a Jeep Thing climb, a few more twists across the pavement and back to the start line. Its very approachable, with a few punchy climbs. We have it cleared well and rain will make a few spots muddy, but the course is about 50/50 grass/dirt.

AWARDS/POINTS:

* We are giving 1st,2nd, and 3rd medals to ALL paid categories at all three races.
* We are NOT giving prizes until the end and those will go to SERIES 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for all paid categories. Pro Men and Women will get some $$$
* All races count towards points. You must do all four to be counted towards the overall.
* Youth get popsicles after the event.

FOOD/BEER:

* TBD

VOLUNTEERING:

Help is welcome before and after the event. Teardown will be in the dark-ish. So having folks stay to help pull poles, tape, etc. is a massive help. If you can help setup that is even better. Please come out when you can and we will make it all come to life together.
