Vandedrome For Sale
The Vandedrome has been redesigned (with wider turns) and the steel understructure is now restored
and powder-coated. It needs a new racing surface. We’ve been unable to find a site and our plans are at a standstill.
The track is being offered to another group for only the costs of moving it to their site.
This project has great potential and the costs to complete it are minimal.
I am personally willing to further invest my time and knowledge to help someone else make a success with it.
Please contact: david at majorleaguecycling.com for further information.
The wood and steel track is 154-167 meters long with 54 degree banked turns and was created in 1994
by John Vande Velde, a 1968 and 1972 U. S. Olympic cycling team member and former world-class cyclist.
It's home base was originally in Joliet, Illinois and it was first used for racing in Del Mar, California in February 1995.
In June 1996 the Vandedrome was put up in Chicago and used for the “Taste of Chicago†track races.
And in 1997 it was moved to the east coast and assembled in Glen Spey, NY at the Mike Fraysse Sports Resort
and Training Center for introductory leagues and junior racing.
In the spring of 1998 the track was used for six weeks of training and racing at Clark’s Woods in Somerville,
NJ prior to moving across the river to Staten Island, NY for the 1998 Goodwill Games at Wagner College.
The Vandedrome is adjustable in length, but will typically be constructed at 167 meters long with broader turns
and slightly shorter straights than its original design.
The track can be assembled and disassembled within 24-48 hours and requires 6 tractor trailers to move it.
During the winter months the Vandedrome will be available for lease to indoor facilities
and hopefully can be used for collegiate and professional racing.
