FESTIVAL OF SPEED - September 20th
Saturday Festival of Speed
*Bonus Madison Race
Directions: http://www.dicklanevelodrome.com/directions.htm
Tickets only $5.00 or $10 per family for Saturday
Pro Racing action starts at 6:00pm on Saturday
Come and catch the battle of the titans as Emile Abraham and his Team Type 1 team take on Trent Wilson and his Jittery Joes team mate Tim Henry. The battle for the first ever Dick Lane Velodrome women's Keirin will be as hot as ever as Vanderkitten's Leigh Valletti tries to take the lead in the Rider of the Year competition from Sorella Cycling's Amy Lang. Atlanta's own National Champion Steve Hill will be on hand to once again light up the sprint races for the evening.
Track cycling pushes the envelope of speed and danger in both hard charging sprint events and grueling endurance races. Experience the thrill of the two-man Madison, comparable to tag-team on bike, where teammates exchange positions into the action at 40 mph using the dangerous Madison hand sling. Catch the fast-paced Keirin, an Olympic event where riders are paced up to maximum speed with a motorcycle until the final lap and a half when they tear up the track to the finish. Enjoy a great night out with the family as you get up close and personal with cycling's top athletes! Or come before your big night out - A great place to meet your friends and hang out.
There is a full service concession stand on site for Saturday - all proceeds go back to support the DLV programs.
