Lucarelli & Castaldi CRCA Club Series Race #12 Instructions
It is hard to believe but the final race in the Lucarelli & Castaldi Club Series is Saturday. We look forward to closing out the season with another great day in Central Park and remind all of our marshals how important it is to show up on time --- any marshal shortage will delay our race start, forcing us to cut laps, or force us to cancel the race entirely.
Important info for WD racers: any club members participating in the WD field need to indicate that they are racing the Women's Development field at registration. If you are not on the start list for the WD field you will NOT be included in the results for the race.

Rider Conduct
After Club Series races riders have been reported by NYC Parks for riding backward on the Central Park loop and/or riding on walking paths. This conduct threatens the existence of our races and will be subject to an immediate DQ and possible suspension.
CRCA Kit
All members are required to wear CRCA kit or CRCA sub-team kit with the prerequisite logos. With summer's arrival we are enforcing these requirements at the Club Series going forward. For independent members - if you have ordered Club kit but it hasn't arrived please make have the e-mail confirmation for your order available.
Marshals
NYC Parks strictly enforces our marshal requirements. Races cannot start until 15 minutes AFTER all marshals are at their assigned posts. If marshals arrive late, do not show or are not at their precise assigned post we may lose our race permits. Please refer to the Marshaling Instructions and Marshaling Policy for addition information.

Results
The CRCA Club Series now features professional results. Results will be posted at the finish line, posted on CRCA.net, and uploaded to USAC. The CRCA Club Series may now be utilized for USAC upgrade points. Per USAC Rule 1M7 racers should take advantage of the 15-minute protest period once results are posted at the Rambles Parking lot to address any concerns directly with our officials and results service before leaving Central Park.
At this stage in the Club Series we are strictly enforcing the use of the 15 minute protest period. Concerns may be submitted via this Google Form by Monday at noon following the race but any protest of the results should occur at the race during the 15 minute protest period.
Any riders that are dropped from the main peloton and finish their race alone are encouraged to signal to the finish line staff that they are racers rather than recreational riders.
