Thanks everyone for coming out!

The toughest sport on pedals gets a high-octane boost at the 2003 Sonoma Valley Cyclocross!

Napa Valley Velo, promoter of the Vineyard Cyclocross and last year's Redline Cup Napa, presents a new event at the exciting venue of Infineon Raceway in the Sonoma Valley.   Infineon Raceway is all about speed and so is this new course, with fast smooth dirt and pavement broken up by a savage stair run-up, the "Scala Diablo". 

Spectators will enjoy a panoramic view of the 'cross course, the speedway track, and the Sonoma wine country. Come out and see the racing action, check out our sponsor expo booths, and pick up some speedway souvenirs at Wine Country Motorsports. Portion of entry fee benefits Speedway Children's Charities.
