In part of the research I have been doing for this project I came across something (I don't remember where, but I am trying to find the source) that stated an inline speed skating track would fit within the velodrome track. I happen to have a friend that competes in inline skating events so I asked him what kind of facilities are in the USA and if there was a need for an indoor track in this area. He replied back, " There is a HUGE need for one, but it has to be built a certain way. We have 3 tracks in the united states but they are banked different than what is used internationally so the US team is always thrown off when they go to worlds." I then got track information from him and designed the same track like those overseas. That means this would be the ONLY indoor inline skating track in the entire USA that was exactly the same as overseas.
This is HUGE for 2 reasons:
1. Races can now be held in the USA and international racers would be more likely to attend B/c track conditions would be the same as to what they are use to racing on.
2. It would make this track the ideal training facility for those racers living in the USA and racing overseas.
One of my goals in designing a sustainable facility is making it more usable. With 2 tracks under one roof this is now the case. It is something that would have to be tightly scheduled and regulated B/c you would not be able to be racing/training on both at the same time. But I think it could be done fairly easy.
Here is the word Doc I got from him detailing all aspects of inline racing. The track information is in Section 3
