Roller race rollers

I've raced on them at Mac Court, Eugene, at a basketball 1/2
time...1975(?). Also at Ciclo Sport, Portland, late 80s. I'm not sure
if it's traditional, but we usually faced away from the display showing
respective progress of the blue and red rollers...bizarre, as the racers
rely only on all the surrounding yelling to know how they're doing!
Maybe that's done so they can just concentrate on whipping the rpm's out.

Dang. I think in the past month I deleted some emails about that subject
that were several years old. I remember racing on those in a tournament at a
shopping center in the early 80's with Paul Robinson and Tim Rutledge when I
was on BBC. I think the last I heard was that they were last seen in storage
at Hutch's in Eugene.

Yes, they are in the basement at Hutch's.
Not all of the parts are present and/or functioning.
If someone wants to sponsor the rebirth of Roller Races,
I will get them back in working order.

Dang. I think in the past month I deleted some emails about that subject
that were several years old. I remember racing on those in a tournament at a
shopping center in the early 80's with Paul Robinson and Tim Rutledge when I
was on BBC. I think the last I heard was that they were last seen in storage
at Hutch's in Eugene.
