There was talk about the possibility of practicing on Tuesday- any word?  Although, I may not be able to make it then...
I usually ride TNW. But I would be in for Keirin instead

Things are moving quickly here at Track Party headquarters. It is looking much sunnier(pun intenended, cause I am actually a mid 40s father) that it was yesterday. What are people's scheduals looking like for tomorrow?

Careful those of you who do attend if so today.

Sorry for all the confusion everyone. Here is the scoop. Keirin practice is tomorrow Tuesday July 31st at 4pm! That is right 4pm tomorrow tuesday July 31st.

And like everything Stephen says, remember this quote.

I know the Keirin is a showy event and more familiar for folks who know squat about track racing, but lets keep in mind that this is not a feature race for us normally. So lets be ourselves and have fun with what we got.


Also, Kayce has put together a practice for tomorrow, so those lucky enough to be off work should go and get that practice.  Sometimes it ain't about bein serious, its about having enough time. We can all try and make it a point to do real practices for next season as Bill suggested.

@swikles



Swikles  gets quoted to make sure he reads this.


Practice went awesomely today. Big thanks to tyler for driving, and Zach and Jim for coming out to help figure things out. By the end of the day we got all the speeds set, and tyler has gotten quite smooth. As long as every one racing keeps and eye out and rides safe we will have a great event on our hand. Tomorrow afternoon I will post a full schedule, including the keirin.

Alright, what the heck is a Polish Pursuit? Thinking it's a joke but always looking for new events to run at Mr. Bumpy and you have set the hook in my interest.

I really like running crawl races at the end of a night of racing so I'll try anything once, put it to use if it works and especially if it is fun.
