Here are just a couple of our favourite race formats
- Scratch Race – 5km (15 laps) for A Category, 4km (12 laps) for B, and 3km (9 laps) for C and D category riders.
- Elimination Race – After opening neutral, the last rider crossing the finish line is eliminated every lap.
- Keirin Race – 4 laps total with two laps behind the derny/moto. The riders must hold their designated position for the first lap, and must remain behind the moto until it pulls off the track at two laps to go. The moto reaches 50km/r for A, 45km/r for B 40 km/hr for C and D at two laps to go. When categories are combined the lesser speed will be used at the discretion of the race organizer.
- Match Sprints – Starts with 3-up match with only winner advancing. The final match is a single race with 2-up.
