Velocity 2009

Hell yes!! It looks like the Velocity 2009 tour, presented by CycleHawk, will be the biggest yet, with plans to visit 8 cities! The dates for LA (April 19th), San Franciso (June 26th) and New York (July 25th) are set, while the dates for Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Portland, and Toronto are TBA. If you live in any of these places, you MUST go to Velocity. It is, hands down, the single funnest day of track racing you can have, and is both a great introduction for beginners and a good day's racing for the experienced. Squid, you're a star. More details here.

SquidSprints!

That's not the actual name, but I like it. Tonight is the second round of The I-Cycle Throwdown sprints event, so if you are in Williamsburg tonight, get yourself along to the Vice Gallery at 7pm.

Carlos, Squid and the crew.

Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin

The sprints are run using the same open-source software, designed by Chicago's own Evan Farrar, that runs IROSprints in Chicago and N.O. Sprints in New Orleans. If you're interested in getting some sprint nights running in your town, check out the software page here, and for more details/coverage of the I-Cycle sprints, go to Carlos' page here or the CycleHawk page here or the I-Cycle page here.

Goldsprints and Velocity NYC.

Looks like a fun weekend was had. Apparently, it was 38 degrees at the track on Sunday, with 20mph winds, but a good crowd still showed up to race. That's the power of Squid, the guy is a legend and puts on a great event. Thanks to John Prolly for letting me use his pics!

Massan from MASH versus Kyle from DQM. I wonder who won?

SPINNNNNN!

Messenger Scratch.

Damn that looks cold, but all of a sudden I want a burger...

Prize giving.

Which reminds me, I should really put up my report from last year's Velocity Chicago, which was a blast.
