Prairie City Mentor - Helper program
This one lap
"First Timer" assisted/mentored (if needed) race
starts at
5:45 on 4/10/13 (race #2) Please be at the start
line at 5:30
This race is
for anyone 10 years or older who wishes to
start racing but might want or need some
guidance and help at their first few races. (We
can also consider under 10 year olds with some
good riding experience).
Racing for the
first time can be intimidating. Your
mentors/helpers will be there to help guide and
coach you. These mentors are just other racers
with experience that would like to see others
get a good start. They will share their tips and
advice and also be there should you need
assistance.
Please arrange to
be at or near the start line at 5:30pm. This
will give you a few minutes to get arranged with
a mentor and go over some basics before the race
start. Remember, this is for fun, education and
learning. You do not need to feel any pressure
at this race.
Race will start at
5:45 sharp. We will group those who elect not to
have mentors in front followed by those with
mentors. Please be aware there may be a
beginners split and you will always follow any
beginner signs.
After you have
raced a few races feel free to move up to the
regular Beginners class if you choose. Just be
sure you are ready for two laps, that a lot more
racers will be on the course and a lot of
passing will be going on.
Parents with
kids: You may ride along and mentor your own
child, provided you have signed a waiver and are
also qualified to do a lap around Prairie City.
Adults: Do
not be afraid to be mentored/helped. You will
learn your skill set much faster and get more
out of racing... and riding in general learning
from another more experienced rider.
OK now.... let's get out
there and have some FUN!
