Newark_Velodrome--Primo_Carnera

The Newark velodrome was a wooden bicycle track
in the Vailsburg neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey,
located
at the northeast corner of the intersection of South Orange Avenue and Munn Avenue.

It opened in 1911

and measured six laps to the mile, or 293 yards per lap. It replaced another 1/6-mile wooden velodrome that was
located to the south, in the northwest corner of the current Vailsburg Park.
That velodrome opened on May 10, 1908 and replaced a 1/4-mile wooden velodrome
that had opened in 1897

on the same site.
The Newark Tornadoes of the National Football League also played several "home" games on the track's grassy infield, during the 1930 season, while the other "home" games were played at Newark Schools Stadium.
