The first event is the track titles on Sat Feb 16 at Newcastle Velodrome

The finish time is roughly when it ends Rosko.


Usually about 9:30-10:00pm.   They haven't quite worked out how to run an event like Paul has.  It takes them an age and a half between races, and then they can't understand why everyone is totally cheesed off at the end of the night.

Despite that it really is a lot of fun.  Plenty to talk about with guys you don't usually race against.  Come along for the heck of it.  The championship races are usually done and dusted by 8:00-8:30pm.

but if you don't qualify for the championship races, you could easily make another evening event by about 7:30

Thats great.. I will have to try and use the excuse that I have already entered.. See if that can get me there...
