I've heard  of Major Taylor, but then we have the Major Taylor Velodrome
here in Indianapolis.  

By the way last month they held the National Sprint Championships here
at the velo last month, Mark Gorski won the men's sprint and Connie
Parsekevin won the women's sprint, however there was a little bit of a
controversy. Connie felt that the women's competition would not be stiff
enough for her to prepare for defending her World Championship title
so she wanted to compete against the men.  The USCF refused her request.
I noticed just this week that she lost her world championship title.
Any comments?
