Is this fixed-gear track racing?


I'm wanting to get into it, just haven't known where to start.

I think its any "road" racing. As they said.. ms150, etc.

@flyS564 You should look into the Friday night racing that should be starting in June. Iron City is taking over from Oscar for a bit this year.

I'm actually looking to get into road racing, I don't have a fixed gear. I'm doing the MS150 and Tour De Cure, but know they're fun rides and not competitive.


Wasn't sure if "oval" always means fixed-gear or not. :)

Then you'll want to come to one of the Saturday events.
