Yes it certainly was, up to the mid 20s I think.....They started off as Velodromes and then became bigger, banked circuits for motor racing events. Chiefly in America, I have only heard of there being bicycle tracks in Europe.

One of the many amazing board tracks was the one that ran for over 25 miles through Pasadena in California. Essentially a pier on land it enabled break-neck and pleasure cyclists alike to ride freely over streets, pavements and junctions. Los Angeles Motordrome was also a board circuit originally - I guess these constructions worked best in dry climates.....

Bloody awesome to see that there I should think. Did they run it up?

I see that they're doing three F1 continuation cars now.

Is that 65 point zero rpm or 65 thousand?

65,000 as I think it's a turbine car.
