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 City
Velodrome for the CanAmQue challenge over the past weekend. The racing
and instruction were among the best organized I have experienced at any
track in North America, the Canadians should be proud of what they have
accomplished in such a short time, especially considering the technical
nature of the track.

A group of 12 or so made the trek down from Quebec, Ontarioans added
another 30 or so, 2 Americans (Wisconsinite Junior and Jersey Master)
plus myself made up the American contingent. The racing was definitely
a learning experience, "track savvy" as much as speed determined the
outcome 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 Albers
Columbus, OH
