For the second year in a row, the Golden Wheel Race comes to the Lehigh Valley Velodrome. The wheel race is also known as a "handicap," a race in which riders qualify for a seeded final via traditional events such as the scratch, elimination, and points before they are seeded in a final according to speed and ability.
Argentina's Alejandro Acton, Gustavo Artacho, Alejandro Borrajo, and Sebastian Alexandre. Jackie Simes, a Trexlertown native, are among those pros scheduled to hit the track. Look out also for the New Zealand National Sprint Team, and T-Town Express riders Ben Barczewski and Andy Lakatosh, who are 2007 Pan-American Games silver and bronze medalists respectively. Their teammate and last week's sprint champion Ryan Nelman will take on the concrete crater this weekend for some serious sprinting action.
