Given that we cannot predict how many will enter which events, and therefore cannot predict the number of heats, we cannot predict after the first race at 9 AM the exact time of each subsequent race or heat. But, that’s part of the excitement and anticipation of indoor track racing experiences. Ample notice will be announced throughout the morning of upcoming heats.
