Texas Cycle Speedway

So there's this sport called cycle speedway that pretty much only happens in Britain (there's only one track in the U.S., in Arizona). Bryan and I have been intrigued by this, enough so that we've built our own cycle speedway bikes, and have been practicing on the cinder track at Daggett Middle School.

Check out this video:



Go to the British Cycling Cycle Speedway Website to find out more about the sport. We'll be posting pics of our new rides soon.

Eventually, we'll need use of a small empty lot to build a shorter, tighter track... anybody know of a place?

So, are there dancing girls at Daggett?

That movie makes me want to scream:

"GO CUTTERS!!!"

How drunk do you have to be to participate?

Very cool. It's like drifting for bikes or the cycling Thunderdome . . . Four men enter, one man leaves

Sweet. We don't have a velodrome, so why not?

Are there any bmx tracks still around? Maybe they have space for a speedway track? Seems like a natural extension.

This could be cool. keep working it.
