Dale Hughes built the velodrome used in the Atlanta Olympics, among
several others. He was interviewed by fixed gear fever. One of the
questions is quoted below.
From
http://www.fixedgearfever.com/module...=print&sid=501
"What would you say to someone who wants to have a velodrome in their
city?
I would tell them to get a piece of paper, write their name on the top
of the list and pledge $1,000, to be collected within 18 months. Then
get 99 others to do the same. If a group can get 100 pledges I am
confident I can help them get a velodrome. The land and the balance of
the funding are quite doable. The Velodrome at Bloomer Park is an
example for other communities that they can succeed. In fact, our
Director of Parks in Rochester Hills will talk to any other
community's government officials and tell them of our structure and
success, send me an email at dale@NAS-TRACK.com"
