Yeah, the '84 velodrome was pretty nice at the time for an outdoor track, but it's hard to compare to an indoor facility. I raced on it during the '83 Nats. I remember there was a multi-alarm fire nearby right before the start of my Pursuit quarter final. They had to delay the race until the smoke cleared. Ahh, the good old days.
