Chariot races
Each rider draws a position (1 in the lane to max 7 at the rail). Riders will start at the same time and finishing position determined by the order they complete the race distance.
Keirin Races
The Keirin is a 5 lap race with 6-8 riders starting from a standing start. The riders draft behind a motor pacer for the first 3.5 laps with the motorcycle gradually accelerating up to 32 mph before it departs from the track. Riders draw for position prior to the race and must fall into order once the race starts. After 1 lap riders can reposition themselves as long as one rider takes the position directly behind the pacer. Once the motor pulls off, with two to go it is an all-out sprint for the finish line. No part of a riders bike can overlap any part of the motor before it exits the track.
Notes
Riders must be Alkek Category B, USAC Track Cat 3 or higher to compete in Keirins. Any exceptions will be made at the discretion of the track director and for junior riders by Carl Jones.
