I've talked to some people who have specced out projects and they talk about costs that rise exponentially (not linearly) as you try to increase the size of an indoor velodrome. Mostly this has to do with having a building without beams in the infield - a track can't be homolugated if officials don't have a 360deg line of sight, and supporting a roof over a 250m track is far, far more expensive than supporting one over a 200 or a 166. |

A much cheaper version was previously done in London ON, but the building was an old OHL hockey rink. Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk |

No roof and a wooden track--***? Anyone forget how often it rains in Vancouver? Maybe it's a Canadian thing? At least they were forced to build a replacement after they illegally tore it down... Last edited by paredown; 01-25-2017 at 07:09 PM. |

"The Detroit Fitness Foundation has announced that Lexus has paid for naming rights at its indoor multi-sport complex, which includes a 166-meter velodrome. The complex is officially named the Lexus Velodrome and is set to open to the public in January."

They needed to cut costs with a project that who knows if it will work. Is tad longer than the one in London, Canada (138 meters, 50/10 degrees banks). Which probably is the one they took as example.
Canadians in that area gather together and pretty much did it by themselves, the nice about plywood is that is easier to repair, slow? well... not that much IMO but is noisy tho. Canadians put theirs in a hockey field building, I imagine the detriot one rides similar to the canadian one since are quite similar. At least detroit has a velodrome, here we have jack! |
