War II. A renovated and renamed race track opened in 1984. Law student Cameron Argetsinger dreamed of bringing As Watkins Glen International it has hosted a variety of European style competition to the village where he spent racing competitions, including NASCAR and the SVRA his summer vacations and he drew up a challenging course vintage races, which for the last couple of years have that encompassed asphalt, cement and dirt roads in and attracted the largest entry list of any vintage racing event around the village of Watkins Glen. The dream became in North America. reality on “The Day They Stopped the Trains.” The 6.6-mile circuit ran through the village streets, starting and ending in front of the Schuyler County Court House. To close the public roads for the event, permits were required from six government entities: the state, the county, the village, the towns of Reading and Dix, and the New York State Parks Commission. A permit from the New York Central Railroad also was needed because the trains were stopped during the race, as the course crossed the tracks. Competition moved to a temporary course in 1953, and a 2.3-mile permanent circuit was built in 1956.

  • Cycle Speedway in Which Our Own Len Finch Was Prominent and Quite a Star in the 1950’S
    The Spindle MAY 2015 cycleclubsudbury.com What a difference a month makes, as the temperatures pass double figures everyday and getting dressed for a bike ride doesn’t involve wrapping up with multiple layers of restrictive clothing. The season is well underway with the 2nd of our own CCS organised Audax on the horizon at the end of this month (30th May) from Long Melford. Andrew Hoppit has regained the organiser’s reins from Peter Whiteley who ran quite superb events while he was in charge. More info in the Diary section! The Thursday Evening Time Trial Series is already in its 2nd week and judging by the large field that assembled on the 1st week, it will be another unqualified success this year. With Brian Webber at the helm, what else could it be! The Juniors have restarted their activities and I understand there is room for even more participants, so are there any sons, daughters or grandchildren from club members (or friends) who might benefit from some expert training on the bike? We have another British Cycling recently qualified coach in the perfectly formed shape of David Fenn to help with proceedings so there’s no excuse for not using the facilities on offer. Open Time Trials continue to attract a good following from CCS members and already some quick times have been recorded which is fairly unusual so early in the season. Their winter training is producing the desired effect apparently. David Fenn’s thoughts on his 1st Open 25 mile TT for 37 years is a good motivator to us all, whatever age we are! I have included an article from Jody Downs (Robins Row Insurance) who has highlighted the ‘possible need’ for riders to have personal accident insurance.

  • JSP 660 Sport in the UK Armed Forces Part 1
    JSP 660 Sport in the UK Armed Forces Part 1: Directive JSP 660 Pt 1 (V2.2 Oct 19) Foreword People lie at the heart of operational capability; attracting and retaining the right numbers of capable, motivated individuals to deliver Defence outputs is critical. This is dependent upon maintaining a credible and realistic offer that earns and retains the trust of people in Defence. In order to achieve this, all personnel must be confident that, not only will they be treated fairly, but also that their families will be treated properly and that Service veterans and their dependants will be respected and appropriately supported. Sport makes a significant contribution to the delivery of operational capability; indeed it is a core activity in the UK Armed Forces. I am therefore most eager to encourage the active participation of all ranks at all levels of sport. I am aware that the majority of sport is organised by Service personnel on a voluntary basis; knowledge of, and access to, the necessary regulation of activities can be difficult. This important document brings together the policies for, and detailed guidance on, the conduct of sport in the UK Armed Forces. I commend it to all your staff involved in sporting activity and in particular to your sports association officials who deliver sport at and above unit level. Lt Gen Richard Nugee Chief of Defence People Defence Authority for People i JSP 660 Pt 1 (V2.2 Oct 19) Preface How to use this JSP 1.
