[NMCycling] a walk down memory lane

[David Porter via Bike-racers]

All, I still have folks ask about the velodrome project I launched in 
1989. The short answer is that it is moribund, but not gone. Thanks to 
our NM delegation in DC, one of which recently declared NM as 
"unrecoverable", which got a WTF from me. So here's the deal and yep, it 
involves you. I'm Libertarian and happily voted for Gary. I know that 
the majority of you are Democrats. We need to hold our noses and write 
to Trump directly.

The letter should urge the President to have Congress act to add Keirin 
racing to the list of exemptions to the Professional and Amateur Sports 
Protection Act (PASPA) 1993. Here is a link to the PASPA hurdle" 
https://www.abqkeirin.com/  Click on the PASPA link to refresh or 
understand what a simple clerical error has caused in keeping the 
project from fruition. There are investors waiting and willing to 
proceed with a velodrome once the exemption is added. Please don't beat 
me up over the gambling, it well established in NM and the primary 
reason (I feel) that our elected delegates don't want to upset the cash 
stream from the Tribes. Short answer to that is that the Bicycle Racing 
Act (Google it) is grandfathered in the Indian Gaming Compact and the 
Tribes can't stop us with that exemption in hand. Let's get it done!
