REDLINE RELAY

Yes. But first we want to learn what you like about this format and what you do not. We love the safety, atmosphere and all inclusive nature. Plus, dude, NASCAR tracks. We hope to announce new events soon.

The coolest thing in cycling since they took the gear shifters off the downtube.

Quite simply, it's a relay race you do with your friends on a NACAR track based in a pit stall with camping available to keep the celebration going. There is a set distance to cover such as 80 miles / 35 laps in Miami - the first team individual to reach that distance is declaried the winner. Drafting is legal and aerobars are not.

The course follows laps of the road track. Each rider from each team must complete a minimum of 1 lap. There must only be one rider from each team on the track at a time. Teams may strategize and choose when to exchange riders and all exchanges happen in the pits. Drafting is always legal, even for lapped riders. The outgoing rider can be held upright within the pit stall by team members for faster exchanges.

We wish to create an authentic vibe and a cycling community event different than any other. Riders of all abilities are welcome (from Cat1 to Beginner), but we prefer you've had some experience riding in groups and understand the importance of holding your line and basic cycling etiquette. One team member on the track at a time. Also, as a new concept we'll not complicate it with too many rules at this time.

Actual Rules:

1. Road Bikes Only
2. Drafting is legal, even for lapped riders.
3. Exchanges: Each exchange must happen within the pit box. The entering rider must fully enter the pit box, BEFORE, the exiting rider can leave the pit box. Teammates can hold the exiting rider up for quicker exchanges as long as all are within the Pit Box.
4. Penalties: There are only a couple of potentials for penalties in this first edition.
a. You enter pit road and do not exchange. This is considered cutting the course and will result in a 20 second penalty. The penalty tent will be located at the end of pit road.
5. Don't be an ass. That's the most important rule. Be welcoming and open minded to all fellow participants. Leave the roadie stuff where it belongs - Wednesday Night Worlds.

YOU DO! This is not just an oval course circuit race. This is the road course at Homestead-Miami Speedway with 8 turns and breaks will be required.

First team to 80 miles (35 Laps) at 17.8 MPG Average can complete under the 4.5 hour time limit. For the lead group going 23 MPH average, we expect the race to take 3.5 hours.

Race time limit: Starts at 1:45pm and ends at 6:37pm (Sunset) 4.5 hours.

2.3mi @ 18mph = 7min, 40sec
2.3mi @ 20mph = 6:54
2.3mi @ 22mph = 6:16
2.3mi @ 25mph = 5min, 31sec
2.3mi @27mph = 5:07
2.3mi @ 30mph = 4:36
2.3mi @ 32mph = 4:19

We will hand out an Abacus to each team - kidding. There will be a counter display on the course and you will be able to track progress on the CLASH Endurance app. When the race reaches 78.2 miles (34 laps) there will be a white flag signal for the last lap based on the lead team.

We are big on total inclusion. Your team composition is at your discretion. In other words, we do not have separate men / women categories in this event and team make-up isn't important - as long as there are 2 to 6 riders who want to have fun.

We have three team groupings.

• Team of 2
• Team of 3 or 4
• Team of 5 or 6

We're all winners. We're outside in the sunshine, riding bicycles on a NASCAR Track, creating memories and having fun. Corny, maybe but true.

The first team to reach 80 miles (35 laps), or see how many laps you can complete in the time limit. Your choice. Winners will be based off the first rider of each team that crosses the finish with 80 miles and 35 laps in the bank.

This is our first 'test' event. So while you will recieve a finisher medal there are no awards beyond bragging rights and we're happy to help you brag on social media - but we're working on all the possibilities for future events. We may have some nice giveaways.

That's the best! Finishing last is an honor in itself. It means you started, and you didn't quit and you took it all in. As Ricky Bobby Said - "If you ain't first you're last!" And that's ok with us - you still had an incredible experience racing in a NASCAR venue with your friends.

We understand. Many of us belong to one man wolf packs. But Redline Relay is a team based event. We will pair you up with a team as best we can of the initial races. Note that we will do everything we can to accommodate riders, including solo riders. Just note that teams will have an advantage. We will be making notes and reserve the right to change the format in future events as we get feedback from riders like you.

The event begins at 1:45pm with a guided all-rider one-lap course preview. That ends at 1:55pm. Teams then re-assmble in their pit box and send their first rider to the start line. Race starts at 2:00pm with a neutral rollout of 1 lap behind the official pace car. At the end of the neutral lap (as you approach the finish line) there will be a green flag drop and the race is on.

You can change your team starters up until Wednesday before the race. Please contact us if you have questions at info@clash-usa.com

Yep. Why not? Cycling usually doesn't do that, but we're different. Hang it up, tell the people about yourself!
