Race 3 - Sierra Point Night Cross

November 10, 2012

This is our High School football game

Sierra Point is one of our season highlights - starting at 12:00 pm with our first race start we get the course ready for twilight racing - and then all the drama and excitement of racing under the lights for our final 4 events of the evening. We use 16 portable construction light units to illuminate the course. This event does have unique start times for each event - please make sure to review the schedule.

This is a very compact course - but we think we have managed to add a couple of new stretches that will make the circuit long enough to prevent as much lapping as previous editions. We'll have 2 TRP Brake Zones, numerous climbs and descents in the Southern Alps and, of course, the Figure 8 Go Pro "Bridge of  Sighs" in the middle. The course surfaces are pretty firm. You'll be set on the grid right on the Start/Finish line.

A Note about Numeric Categories - Here at the Bay Area Super Prestige Series we don't feel that it is in the best spirit to hold people to a numeric category. We will maintain our system of riders self categorizing. If you need to compare it to the USAC numeric system, It would be C=4 B= 3, and A= 1/2
