    Fun Amongst the Ruins of Detroit

    It's not all doom and gloom. Take an abandoned velodrome and add some motorcycles. I wonder if we could sneak the R Gruppe cars in there for a few laps

    Yeah, it was a bicycle velodrome in the 70/80's. There was a pretty strong cycle racing tradition in the Detroit area years ago. Currently rethinking my plan to do some laps ..... the Detroit city cops would probably not take kindly to some 'rich white boys' from the suburbs racing around there
