When I've talked with Dale Huges, he has been beating this drum loudly at USA cycling, and trying to get them up to speed on a sport they didn't understand a few years ago. Heck, he's even built several velodromes recently and started a new track cycling league. We'll see were that ends up, but he's working it...
(just realized one of the kids we had that medaled at track nationals was the same guy who beat me by a couple of inches in my last crit. My kids loved teasing me after I told them I got beat by a 14yr old, lol)
