Wheel race comes to Lehigh

This Friday, July 28, Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Velodrome hosts a new event on the program, Ondra Huyett's Golden Wheel Race featuring the Corporate Challenge.

The centerpiece event of the night will be the Golden Wheel Race, a handicap event of a format that's a popular tradition in Australian track racing but rare elsewhere in the world. In the wheel race, or handicap format, riders qualify for a seeded final and are ranked according to ability. In the final, riders start from different points around the track so that, in theory at least, all riders have an equal chance of winning.
