The Oxford Dictionary has defined explanations for these two words: "Mini" meaning: "very small version of its kind" "Drome" meaning: "a place for running or racing".
The premise for the Red Bull Mini Drome posed some logistical problems and some gravitational considerations that stretched Newtonian physics somewhat, but the resulting track was received well by all the riders. The aim of the race was to clock the fastest time over 10 laps, and maintain speed without getting dizzy. That combined with Shotgun Alley live on stage blasting finest glam metal, well, we were set for an interesting evening.
And what a night it was! Thanks to everyone who came along and especially to all the riders who came and risked life and limb. The Studio was rammed full and there was some serious effort made and incredible speed logged on the track. There were over 50 riders competing, a huge turnout, and it as great to see the fun mixed with the competitive side as riders got faster and the race-faces came out resulting in some incredibly fast lap times. A single lap would take 3 to 5 seconds and a 10 lap race would take between 35 and 50 seconds on average, that is a lot of rotations. The track racing champions came and raced against the street fixed gear hustlers and it made for a great event. Congratulations to Lester Perry on 2nd place and Guy Diamond for 3rd.
