A Base for Growth
Starting with the 2008 season, ATRA's dedicated board of executives seeks to
grow track racing in North America. By offering economical insurance rates,
creating continuity and opening communication channels among all member
tracks, ATRA seeks to develop a base from which to build a strong track
racing community in North America. In addition, marketing services will be
available to member tracks for events as well as public and corporate
relations. Having recently filed for incorporation, the board will also be
seeking 501(c)(3) or non-profit status as a next step to securing long-term
growth.

The recently launched website (www.raceatra.com) has been redesigned with
additional member track information. The website will also feature news from
member tracks across the continent and provide information for non-member
tracks who wish to join ATRA in the development of track racing. A complete
listing of all 28 North American velodromes can be found on the website,
along with a National track racing calendar. Encompassing over $100,000 in
prize money, the calendar spans 6 months and features major races at 14
member tracks in 11 States.
Mission Statement:
The American Track Racing Association (ATRA) is formed by United States and
Canadian velodromes to advance the sport of track cycling, the capital
improvements of our facilities and for the promotion of track riding and
racing.
