  • Free laps may be awarded for recognized mishaps until the leaders reach 5 laps to go (8k). After this point any riders in the pit are losing time on the field and must chase or abandon the race.
  • There will be six points-primes five places deep during the criteriums (USAC 7I4(c) and 7I5(a)  - See Appendix 3, page 227)
