Hey all, so it’s been a while since I’ve done much work on Hipster Nascar, mostly because I don’t really have the time any more. I’m working full time on my dissertation, and lecturing, and on a lot of other school/work projects, so I really don’t have a spare minute to write anything of substance for [...]

Have you booked your flight yet?? Details here.

Check out this excellent audio slideshow about British Olympic track medalist Tommy Godwin revisiting Herne Hill velodrome, site of his 1948 Olympic races.

Cuttin’ Crew rider and the World’s Most Enthusiastic Human®, Brian Ellison, was in a bad crash during the Mayor’s Cup race at Kenosha velodrome, and by bad I mean helicopter’d to hospital bad. He’s doing well but needless to say, the kid needs a little financial aid. Them air-ambulance rides aren’t cheap! His friends have set [...]
