I went to my first night of racing last night. I did a clinic this past weekend to learn the basic safety and track etiquette, and to run through the race formats. The local track runs races every Tuesday night during the summer.
The racing was very fun and way faster than I expected. I got dead last in my first two races. I was able to push and cough my lungs out to get 3rd in the point race and super super happy about that. I'm totally hooked and will be back next week! I will say that during the clinic/warm up my fat Paris Roubaix tubs were fine but at race pace I could feel the front end squirming all over. Not sure if it's the tire, my lack of skill/strength hold the bike in the banking, or both. I will swap over to another set of wheels with skinny Sprinters next week and leave the PRs for training/road.
