St. Louis Velodrome
Looks like the city of St. Louis has committed money to do major renovations to the place (like $600,000+ kind of money). When I was at the University of Missouri a few years back, a couple of us took trips to ride out there. Was fun. Saw it as I flew out of Lambert on a layover last week. It's been neglected for years.
It appears that the nonprofit that helps run the place is doing a gofundme for some more funds to do the last bit of funding for the project. https://www.gofundme.com/penrose-park-velodrome

Ol' Mr Bumpy Face !!!
Big Shark used to organize some races there once a week in the summer, but I don't know if they quit that or not. It's fun to ride, but the bumps in the track (I think it's wood that's been covered by asphalt) are annoying.

I believe the track was repaved around 2005. Surface was better but I recall joints running from top to bottom.
Every so often there is a push to resurrect it. Not exactly in a hospitable location. http://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/...there#stream/0 Last edited by Plum Hill; 03-17-2018 at 09:05 PM. Reason: Added comments.
