To all,

The Vandedrome and the AG 96 (Atlanta Games 96) track are two completely separate items. The Atlanta track was in a warehouse in Orlando, Florida for a while, but is now in Bromont, Quebec. The Atlanta track was made of steel (structure) and marine grade plywood, which was coated with a textured formica-like layer.

The track wasn't popular with the riders, as it was slippery and the bends weren't laid out quite right.

The Vandedrome (the track listed on eBay) is somewhere in NJ. BTW, that is neither the shortest, nor steepest track ever built. The is a 125m track in Canada, and several of the Euro 6 day tracks (e.g. Ghent) have 50+ degrees of banking.
