Funny how coming from the 333M and 250M tracks the suicide move of going w/ 3 to
go almost makes it too late.

When there was a 81 inch gear restrictiong in the "old days" at Forest City,
almost all the sprints were 3 wide out of turn 4 and won by inches.

Glad you had a good time Kirk, just getting out of the cold is a treat!

Greetings Bloomer Parkers,I finally pulled it together and got myself to the
Forest CityVelodrome for the CanAmQue challenge over the past weekend. The
racingand instruction were among the best organized I have experienced at
anytrack in North America, the Canadians should be proud of what they
haveaccomplished in such a short time, especially considering the
technicalnature of the track.A group of 12 or so made the trek down from Quebec,
Ontarioans addedanother 30 or so, 2 Americans (Wisconsinite Junior and Jersey
Master)plus myself made up the American contingent. The racing was definitelya
learning experience, "track savvy" as much as speed determined theoutcome of
many of the races.I definitely was glad to have made the trip and expressed to
Rob Good"riders don't know what they're missing here..."!!Regards,Kirk
