I wasn't joking. In my first year of track league, Jake used to go from the gun every week in the B points race and he invariably won it. Part of it was due to his ability, but part of it was that he'd score points in the first two sprints before everyone else chased him down. Then he just had to make sure he got points in one more sprint and he was guaranteed the win.
In my experience, getting points on the board early on is essential in a points race.
