A group of us are looking at a project to locate a temporary velodrome in an
existing building. Details are very much still up in the air. The building
is located west of Beaverton, about 20 minutes drive from downtown Portland.
The velodrome would be a wood surface 166-180 M in length. Basically the
shape and banking would be similar to Alpenrose but with shorter straights.
In order to evaluate this project we need to assess the level of interest.
I need to get an estimate of how many people who would make a several month
commitment of $50 - $100/month to have access to the track for training and
racing purposes. Please let me know if you would be interested. Please
respond to me individually so that we don't flood the list with "me too"
notes.

OBRA Land,

The story is out. If we are going to succeed we need to develop a
workable plan and will produce a tangible result, not a vapor 'drome.
It may take all of the next year to learn exactly what we need, gather
the resources we have and see what we need to move forward. Please
feel free to contact me if you have any ideas. In turn, I may send out
a request asking for help in locating a person or resource. I truly
believe that if we pull together as a community, we can find the
resources and energy to add a resource to velodrome racing. On a
periodic basis I will try to let all know what is going on. It may not
be me that carries this all the way. But I am going to try to do my
best to get this started and push it as far as I can.
At the recommendation of a respected person in the business of
building velodromes, the first thing to do is to put my name at the top
of a list of people who will pledge $1000. All I need now is 99 more
names to get this thing started.
