First track race.
I did my first track racing today , too good! I absolutely loved every minute of it. Did four races, ITT, 2000 Pursuit, Scratch Race and Keirin (sp). Raced 'C' grade and got a third in the SR. I'm blown away. Now I got to get me a track bike

How long is your track?
Ours is a 200m, and it's a SCREAM.

Event Services is correct, Bloomer Park is a scream!!! Anyone within a days drive of Detroit should check it out. You will never be the same.
