Wellington's Inaugural XC Short Track Series!

Format
Races are on a short course (approx 1 minute 30 sec to complete a lap) and are pulled if lapped by the race leader. Riders race for a set time plus a specified number of laps which will increase for each grade through the series, ranging from 8 minutes plus 2 laps to 15 minutes plus 3 laps depending on grade.
