LA Velodrome...
Today we were down in Carson, Ca. at the Home Depot Center. There they have the only wooden Velodrome in North America. When I was in Europe a few years ago, I saw these Velodrome's in quite a few small towns, but in America, there are very few, and at that, most are cement. The Velodrome's are used today for bicycle's, but motorcycles are used to set the pace and create a draft. Years ago, these were the board track's that are so famous in motorcycle history. The craftsmanship that it took to build this track is incredible, all strips of bent hardwood, I was very impressed. This track was built for the 1984 LA Olympics, and has been in use ever since...
