Looks like velodromes are slowly releasing their big events for next year.
Encino Far West Championships - Los Angeles, CA May 23-24
Hellyer AVC - San Jose, CA June
Alpenrose Six Day - Portland OR June 29 - July 4
Alpenrose Challenge - Portland, OR July 17 - 19
Marymoor Grand Prix - Redmond, WA July 31 - August 2
one night $20,000 that might be the best prize list all year. I don't know all the details yet. I know there will be a keirin focus and some top notch womens racing. The promoters have been studying the 'Revolution' races and are going to emulate that as much as possible. This will be good.
This is 7 days before the Hellyer AVC (june 19-20) race which is also a big prize money race with 2 days of races.
Spend 10 days in Cali and do 2 big events? plenty of track time and road riding and road events to keep you busy during the week.
CANCELED!

More info on the Speed Rebelion Challenge was recently posted on fixed gear fever:
Hey -
I just got the approval from Hellyer BOD for the Speed Rebelion Challenge on June 12th. It'll be from 7-11 pm. The first place winner in the men's keirin will be 6k. It'll go 6 spots deep which means you have to get into the finals to win some cash.
The women's - it'll be all points races. The winner gets 4k.
The Hawk Relay Cycling Team's Pro and Elite squad will be there.
We'll have VIP tables in the infield with chef, beer, wine with servers. We'll have DJ from last year's AVC. There'll be plenty of entertainment with a guy from Vancouver, BC doing mime show.
Announcer - Maybe the famous Mike Hernandez, we'll see if we can convince him to do it.
If this format proves to be successful, I'll duplicate it to other tracks. It'll be the Super Bowl of the USA track racing of 2009.
The website and stuff will be coming up within 2 weeks.

This sounds like a great event, I might have to adjust my calendar.
