Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 with a few chicken runs in it, of course...
Capricorn Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) with a few chicken runs in it, of course... depends on who builds the track Edited February 21, 2012 by Capricorn
Capricorn Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) oh and the city of valparaiso secured the race for the next three years. That's a pretty sweet setup, obviously with good dialogue between race organizers and the city fathers. Now that's how it should be done, no bitching and moaning and being all uppity. random thought; wonder if they'll ever string together something of an Urban World Cup.
