Friday evening, @ 8 p.m., there were cars parked neatly in a row. One car had a tall sign atop it's roof that read "FEMME PEDALS" (pronounced as femme pe-dolls). The moon was just up over the Downtown Fort Lauderdale skyline and a train horn sounded in the distance...

February 6th and 7th- two races, one short track, and one cross country. The difference in the two races is time and effort. The short track (or, STXC) is exactly that- a short track.

Racer's pass by the crowd more times and more often- making moves, attacking, reacting- RACING!!!
