Start Procedure

All blocks of races will be announced 15, 5 and 1 minute before they start, but you are responsible for being at the Start Line in good time for your race.

The Starter will announce that the race will start anytime within the next 10 seconds, and then sound a horn to indicate the Start.

Your position and lap time will be recorded as you complete each lap and your result will be available online at www.gorrick.com later in the day.

There will be podium trophy presentations for the top 3 in all categories as soon as the majority of riders have finished.
