June 16, 2004 – Wishful thinking? Maybe. But the Hummingbird’s
International Cycling Club will be hosting Track League at Sunset Speedway
for the first time, this Saturday, June 19 from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. At no other
time in the last 20 years, has track racing been closer to Toronto.
For those unable to make the five-hour drive to Detroit, or two hours to
Delhi, this location is perfect for trying out track cycling.
Sunset Speedway is a 1/3-mile paved racing oval located on Highway 11 (Yonge
Street), near the Town of Innisfil. The long straightaways and gently
banked (10 degree) turns are perfect for motorpacing and mass-start events.
There will be plenty of time for practice and racing. All fixed-gear and
track cyclists are welcome to attend, but they must purchase a Hummingbird’s
Track League membership (one day or season pass). Track fee is $10 for the
day. This is a Hummingbird’s Cycling Club activity so all riders must be
members of the Hummingbird’s International Cycling Club. Affordable club
memberships will be available at the track. A track coach will be at
the track for information and advice.
Beginners are more than welcome.
