ATRA's NCS Announcement
The American Track Racing Association(ATRA) is proud to announce the launching of a new initiative with the first ever ATRA National Championship Series(NCS). The new national series hopes to bring together a collective of the best track races in the US for the best racers in the US to compete head to head for the chance to be named ATRA's National Champion. Track racing in the US of recent years has seen a myriad of different races and small regional series operating independently and the goal of ATRA's NCS is to bring all of those events to a national stage and highlight some of the great work being done a ATRA's member velodrome's around the country.
The goal of ATRA's NCS is to collectively bring together velodrome's around the country and highlight their major events and bring additional media exposure for those events. A side benefit of bringing those velodrome's and their events to the forefront of the cycling community nationwide is creating more awareness of the American Track Racing Association and it's mission and goals as an organization. ATRA's mission is to advance the sport of track cycling, the capital improvements of our facilities and for the promotion of track riding and racing.
The NCS will feature Individual Overall Champions for Men's events, Women's events and best overall Team for the team that gains the most points over the course of the season. Championships will also be awarded for each major track discipline, including Sprint, Keirin, Time Trial, Individual Pursuit, Points Race, Scratch Race, Miss and Out and Madison(men only). Each one of the races that is held at NCS events will count points towards the championship and the results will be tallied on ATRA's website, raceatra.com and at the end of the year NCS Champions jersey's made by ATAC Sportswear will be awarded to the winners of each category.

Former World Champion, Jeff Hopkins signs on with ATRA
Former World Champion, Jeff Hopkins has taken a position with the American Track
Racing Association. Inc (ATRA) to help propel the re-growth of track cycling in the US. ATRA
is the governing body for the majority of track racing held in the US with 14 member
velodromes across the US holding their races under ATRA sanctioning.
“This is a great opportunity for me to be an active participant in continuing and
expanding the work of ATRA, and having a hand in growing track cycling from a grass roots
perspective.” Hopkins said. The now retired former World Junior Champion (in the kilo) and 10
year road professional is also the Operations Manager at the Dick Lane Velodrome (DLV) in
Atlanta, GA and brings a wealth of track racing experience to the position.
“My role will involve mostly PR work to create more awareness of ATRA, as well as the
implimentation of a national series to be run at all of our member velodromes across the US.” he
said. ”With some tracks having great programs already and some tracks beginning to develop a
solid foundation, we have a great chance to create a collective effort moving forward to ensure
that track cycling can continue to be a major part of the cycling community in the United States.”
ATRA President, Peter Antonvich is excited by the news, “We brought Jeff onto our staff
here at the DLV in Atlanta and he’s done a great job expanding on the growth that we already
had going, and we expect a similar result from bringing him into the fold of ATRA” he said.
“Jeff having a different perspective on things than how we’ve previously done them is a major
advantage of having him involved.”
The American Track Racing Association is formed by United States velodromes to
advance the sport of track cycling, the capital improvements of our facilities and for the
promotion of track riding and racing. ATRA's member tracks are working together to develop a
base from which to build a strong track racing community in North America. ATRA will also
provide information, economical insurance rates, public realtions and marketing services to
member tracks. ATRA's board is actively seeking 501(c)(3) non-profit status.
More information on ATRA and it’s activities can be found on it’s website, raceatra.com,
