October 14, 2007 – The teams are finalized for what promises to be another hard fought race at Forest City. Once again there will be two divisions. With the unfortunate withdrawals of Steen Rose on the U.S. team due to injury and local speedsters Brandon Throop and Steven Meyer due to mid-term exams the ‘A’ division will be down to five closely matched teams. Brian Crosby of Arden Hills Minnesota, Rose’s partner, will be making his first appearance at Forest City and team up with Garnett Abbey of Burlington, a Forest City Six veteran.
The Quebec team of Martin Rooseboom and Phillipe Raymond are sure to add to the excitement and thrills for the spectators.
The ‘B’ division will again be a five team race with each team consisting of three riders. Up and coming riders are being paired with some of the masters to maximize both experience and safety.
Each division will compete in a scratch race, miss & out and two madison sessions per night.
The race is being held over two three-day weekends – Oct. 19, 20, 21 and Oct 26, 27 and 28th. Start times are 7pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 1pm on Sundays.
