I think this is Big George's year.

The only injury I have had was to my ego. I (we all were actually) was going to slow on the neutral lap during the beginning of a points race and slid out and took about 3 people with me. Luckily we were just exiting turn 2 so the banking of the track had started to shallow up a bit. No body...

Are you being a smartass or are you seriously implying that the only reason he keeps his hair short is to fool the doping controls? I don't remember ever seeing it much longer than that.

I race at the **** Lane Velodrome here in Atlanta. It's 1/5 mile and is around 36 deg of banking. It's a fun track even if the front straight is slightly uphill. I've been racing for two years. I took the beginners class a couple of years ago and became instantly addicted.
