The course at Westpoint is on the driver training facility and so mimics a town centre criterium course but with wide grassed runoffs.  Onlline entry is preffered as it saves the organisers a lot of work. It closes at midday on the day of the race allowing potential competitors to check the weather/work commitments/ tan lines etc before entering. We accept cash payments on the day but this is much more expensive.

The HQ is located in the Red One building (formerly the Devon Drivers Centre). Westpoint Arena is only a few kilometres from Junction 30 of the M5.  There is plenty of parking but warming up is limited to the skid pan area only so you may want to pack a turbo or rollers.

Info for Riders

SPECIFIC NOTE FOR FOR WOMEN COMPETITORS

We are currently experiencing lower participation levels than normal in our women’s events.  Please sign up early so that your name appears on the entrants list. Your name will encourage others to ride.  In return we will give you either a really good race or a full refund as follows;

1. a full refund (less the £1 BC booking fee) if we have less than 10 entrants when entry closes at 12pm on the day of the race.

2. you race anyway with less than 10 entrants

SPECIFIC NOTES FOR THOSE NEW TO RACING

No license is required to race in either the women's 2/3/4 or the men's 3/4. You will, however, have to buy a day license.  This can be purchased before you race at the sign on desk.  Current rates are;

Non-BC member or bronze BC member, £10

Silver or Gold BC member, £5

Juniors (age 16 to 18 years) pay half these prices

We normally accept card payments but please also bring cash in case we have technical difficulties with our card reader.

GENERAL NOTES

Subject to space and eligibility a competitor in an earlier race can also race a later one for £5.  You simply retain your rider number, sign the sheet and pay £5.

The first race of the evening will start at 6.30pm.  Subsequent races timings are the earliest possible.  Depending on light levels the Organisers may delay the start of subsequent races by up to 15 minutes in order to maximise track time. Entrants will be kept fully informed on the day.

In order to secure the future use of this facility competitors and supporters are asked to respect the wishes of the owners. 

- Vehicles must not be parked on the grass

- Bikes must not be ridden on the grass

- Do not warm up on the road or roads within Westpoint.  Warm up only on the skid pan or bring a turbo or rollers.

- There are plenty of toilets in the HQ.  Please use these and not the open areas.

Riders, and rider's supporters, not following these rules will result in disqualification of that rider, and potentially lead to a fine.
