Track Racing!

We're baaaaack! Did you miss us? Hey, this past Tuesday, Peloton Star went down to the Washington Park Velodrome in Kenosha to watch the 150 lap points race. 150 laps with a sprint for points every 5 laps. That will make the 50k go by quickly! According to Len Cabaltera on FaceBook:
Great Night in Kenosha with the 150 lap Bob Pfarr. Teamwork prevailed as John Tomlinson of Chemstar won for his second time time. Second Place was David Moyer of XXX Racing and Alex Wielser of Chemstar in third. Race time for 150 laps was 1:06.

Among the approximately 24 starters, two women also competed in the race - Stacy Appelwick (ABD) and Samantha Schneider (TIBCO). Spectators on the field numbered around 200 according to the track announcer, so it was a good night of racing. Check out the video:



Racing continues at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome in Northbrook, IL (schedule) and construction of the 166 meter track at the Chicago Velocampus is coming along nicely. One of only two new velodromes currently in construction in the United States. Support your local track program!
