Equipment

As a resource for race promoters, here is a complete equipment list that the WSBA has to offer as a PDF. This may be used as a checklist of things promoters may need for their events.

Some of the most important resources available from the WSBA include (costs vary depending on the event):

• 20 stop/slow paddles and vests for corner marshals
• 12 rotating vehicle lights
• 48 radios (11 car & 36 hand held & 1 base station)
• Video camera and monitor
• 20 sets of signs (Bike Race, Flagger, Be Prepared to Stop)
• 20 car top signs that say "Bike Race"
• 1,1,300 Watt generator
• Lap board & bell
• Tag Heuer timing strip (Chronoprinter 520)
• 5 digit, two-sided digital race clock & tripod
• 6 digit, two-sided digital race clock & tripod
• 200 Meter, 1 km, 3 km and 5 km road signs
• Two-sided digital race clock
• 10 x 10 Ez-Up tent

All fees for WSBA equipment are due when equipment is picked up.

The promoter will pay a flat rental fee per event depending on how much equipment is needed.

Small Use - Criterium or TT that just uses the camera, numbers and radios and a few signs: $100
Medium Use - Road Races & TT that use the above plus the signs and car equipment: $200
Large Use - Stage Races that are multiple days and use all the equipment: $300
