Continental Proudly Presents



We've got a track racing team of our very own. We'll feel like big shots, if only for a week.

I should probably explain.

This December 27-30th will be an exciting time for Vancouver cycling fans. Our very own Burnaby Velodrome ( http://www.burnabyvelodrome.ca/index.php ) will be hosting an international level track race. It's a pretty big deal, because all sorts of famous riders will be there: http://www.burnaby4.com/

Two of those lucky riders will be riding for the Continental Repairs team. We don't know which two, but we'll keep you posted.

This really is very, very cool.

Double Trouble

Always have a backup plan.
Rather than run one engine at full race nick, these fella's ran two moderatly tuned Porsche motors in their race car. The front engine drove the front wheels, the rear engine the rear wheels.
Boy oh boy, that must have been a brute to drive.
Racing cars used to be built over the winter by guys with big ideas in poorly lit barns.
Awesome.
