There was some discussion of this a few years back. My impression was that the experience left the watcher a little cold - it's all about the betting, with little interest in the individual riders. Apparently the stands are mostly empty, with all the bettors inside checking stats and laying down their cash.
I may have remembered this completely wrong of course.

Has anyone been to watch keirin in japan? I'm there in September and would love to go watch some. Unfortunately Google refuses to translate anything other than the front page of the official keirin site so I cannot work out a) which tracks are hosting meets while I am in the country or b) how we might get tickets etc.
Any ideas?
