LOUISVILLE STXC #1- JUNE 4th

SHORT. TRACK. RACING

Here is everything you need to know for the JUNE 4th STXC race!

Eva Bandman Park at 1701 River Rd. Louisville is where it will happen.

Parking: VERY LIMITED

• DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF THE SAND PLANT. YOU WILL GET TOWED. 
• Anywhere in the mowed area of the grass field. Just don’t get stuck. Be mindful that parking close to the edge of the course. Bikes don't always stay inside the tape....
• Along the side of the road in the park, don’t block it!
• At the bottom lot down by the river.
•  If all of that fills up, Waterfront Park isn’t far away, and if you know how the greenway trail that comes through Eva Bandman (Louisville Loop) connects that could be a good option if you are ok with a short pedal over. If you are solo and without anyone on foot and are ok to ride over, please go ahed and consider this. 

Check-In/Registration:

You must check in to get your plate. Please do this as soon as you get there so you have plenty of time to get ready for your race. We won’t wait on you! If you are registering day of, it will still be through the website. We do this because it pulls your data directly into our timing system and this allows us to keep the show rolling without delays. LOOK FOR THE LOU STXC TENT/TABLE

Start times:

Start times are posted by the category you registered for. 

How does STXC work?

The most laps you can do in given time for your category wins the race (roughly 20-30 mins). Simple as it gets.

Chip Timing:

This is a chip timed race. You don’t get scored if you don’t rock your plate. Don’t cut your plate to be “aero” either, please.

If you have a larger Garmin, don't worry you wont get lost out there, move that thing a bit so we can actually read your plate. You will be in zone 5 the whole time and it's over when we say it's over. Get that thing out of the way. 

What bikes are allowed?

Anything is allowed. Mountain bikes (non CX/Gravel/Drop bar) bikes will be scored towards podium/points. The “other” bikes you will get a time, get to race, have fun. We will just ignore that result when tallying podiums and series points. We want EVERYONE to race, no matter what bike they have. We also have to protect the integrity of the race equipment and focus on the competitive side being towards MTB, but a race that everyone can have fun at.

Start line:

It will be down by the big tree. You will see a couple start signs near it. Go there before your race starts!

Course Notes:

It’s very approachable, with a few punchy climbs, and we will change it up a bit every week. Rain will make a few spots muddy, but the course is about 50/50 grass/dirt.

Awards/Points:

• We are giving 1st, 2nd, and 3rd medals to ALL paid categories at all three races.
• We are NOT giving prizes until the end and those will go to SERIES 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for all paid categories. Pro Men and Women will get some $$$
• All races count towards points. You must do all four to be counted towards the overall.
• Youth get popsicles after the event.

Food/Beer:

• Poppe's Cafe for food
• Shippingport Brewing for beer

Volunteering:

Help is welcome before and after the event. Teardown will be in the dark-ish. So having folks stay to help pull poles, tape, etc. is a massive help. If you can help setup that is even better. Please come out when you can and we will make it all come to life together.
