So I think Aaron posted a video a while back about the abandoned Detroit velodrome, and the efforts of The Mower Gang to clean it up and make it viable for racing. Well, guess what? They're racing it. And not just one race, but a whole series of races, for mopeds, scooters and bikes! All proceeds from the races will be put back into repairing and maintaining the velodrome and surrounding park, so if you're in the area you should definitely get yourself over there to either race or just watch the action. This is just one example of some of the really interesting local community participation stuff happening in Detroit right now. Thunderdrome happens on October 16th, and all the details are on their excellent site here.

This is awesome news! It's always such a shame see forgotten/neglected places like this but is amazing when they can manage to make a comeback.
