I'm going to start a thread & do it in the wrong forum
I don't have the time or attention span for multiple forums.
I'm racing on the track tonight for the first time ever.

It's ok. You're a road bike racer, so any thread you post here can qualify as of interest to road bike racing.

Assuming you did a class prior? Track's a different animal with different etiquette than road. Very good instructional video.

What kind of track? There are crits on auto racing circuits and ovals.

Look midget breath, the Nyack Ride had 80+ guys on it last weekend, they all race bikes, they all came out and treated this training ride as if it were the friggin Tour de Fred, to the point where they blatantly bombed every red light for 20 miles so they wouldn't lose position. Just because it's not a USCF event doesn't mean it's not a bike race.
Here's what you need for a bicycle race:
2 cyclists + 1 telephone pole = bicycle race.

Shouldn't this be in the Napoleon Complex Forum?
