THE TURKEY DIED
I am writing this with some deep regrets . Thi~ is the 1st year since
1980 that the Turke y Run Road Race
will not occur . I sent in the ap plication during the last week of
July as I felt that this was plenty
a dequate to g et thing s moving for
early October. I had talked to the
Park personnel in early June before
the VA/DC Districts and was told that
September or October would be no problem to use the course. I was g lad
to see the application come back approved for October 9 and signed by .
the Superintendant . I had chasen this
date due to a full p ersonal and race
calendar in September and one of my
major sp onsors wi ll be out of town in
t h e mi ddle of S eptember. In the letter i t s t a te d to call and set up an
app ointment to fina lize everything
and upon calling I was told by the
s ecretary that I should chang e the
date since October was going to be
out. She said that it would have to
be September or November -- this was
on August 18, 1983.
Af ter so me t h ought and c h ecking , I
d ecid e d to cancel . I felt I could
not g et it operational in September
even if the calendar was more agreeable. Hopefully next year I can try
to set something up earlier before I
s tart g etting double messages from
t h e Park Service.

N.C.V.C. continues to have a major problem . Lack of personnel to run a club
this size. All but t'MJ of the club's
officers are racers ard the two who do
not qualify as racers end up beinJ over'MJrked a.rd burnt-out. We have 3 traininJ races a W2ek fran May thru Septerrber
ard Ken "Runitall" McCormick is the only
one willing to run races. Ed Cottrell,
Jim Montganery, Alan Rashid a.rd Rebecca
Montganery W2re going crazy trying to
get the Virginia race off the ground
and race (which is their primary function) at the same time.
As always,
ROAD GUARDS are still after all these
years a problem are at least a headache •••.•• W'.)rd is we may have to
give up a race next year, which means
less income to reimburse you •••..• plus
there's no training like racing .••• So
if you'd like to help out or think
you'd like to help out get in touch
with Pres. Butler. We need you. your
wife, g irlfrierd, boyfr ierd, brother,
sister, neigtbor, uncle, aunt or anyone
willinJ to contribute to a thankless
job of running training races ••.•••• I
kno.v it's only August but if you really
want a thankless job, paying $1 a rronth
(in membership) ard free rides ard admission to N.C. v.c.
Races and functions, think about serving as an of ficer in the National Capital Velo Club,
Inc., W2 need a few goa3 men, no that's
the Marines, NCVC needs as many good
persons W2 can get ••.••••. Now to give
thanks where it's due, BOB ELVES and
LEON MOORE for canputerizing our membership (though a bit late, Rosters are
available -- contact the newsletter
editor or check at the club races). I
also noticed ADRIEN ROI'HSCHILD servinJ
as a regular road guard on Tuesday
night;,s at Westgate.
If q_he can safeguard her husband (Kenny in the A class
race) row aboot your wife, husbard,
girlfriend or boyfriend? THANKS FDLKS!
The club recognizes a.rd appreciates
your efforts. ·
OK enoogh begginJ, let's see what hap- ,
pened in July?
JIM MJN'IGOMERY kept ;
his record, a National Championship
jersey every year since turning a Vet.
This year he proved that he is the
greatest veteran rider of all time by
beating one of America's all time
greats, John "I Hate to Lose" Howard.
I guess Jim hates to lose worse than
Howard or really wanted a 5th jersey.
Jim also won medals on the track in
everything he rode.
ROB LEA, 2nd in
the T. T. , 3rd on the rocd, retained
his titles by collecting National
Championship jersies in the Kilo ard
Pursuit again.
JERRY NUGENT 2nd in
the T. T. , 4th on the road, retained
his National Pursuit Championship
title ard taking a bronze in his first
Points race, with a 2nd in the Kilo.
GJRDY HOLTER1AN took advantage of the
situation and rode unbeaten winning 7
races in Milwaukee. OOB SCHNEIIBR,
4th in the Natz Road Race was never
worse than 2nd in Milwaukee, 3 wins
and 4 seconds. MIKE PUGH finished 17th
overall at the PAN AM road trials.
IXlN CARRICK nipped BULLE'IMAN BUTLER
for 4th at Shady Grove in Butler's "C"
class debut.
TRACEY STILLER, woo is
our racingest member, continues her
top placings all over the Midwest alOnJ with teammate CARJL ADDY, including a flying start lap record at Indy
= 23. 08.
MARY PELZ broke her own 10
mile T. T. record by ll seconds riding
a 25:04. This time made the Pelz happier as her previous record time was 1
secord faster than the legerdary Mij i
Reoch. JULIE PAUL and exNCVC ED SLAUGHTER canpeted in the World University
Games. Ed getting sane good T.V. exposure. Vickie Brown is recovering
quite well since being hit by a car in
Allentown. Vickie is back on her bike,
but still needs another operation for
her wrist ard she still has some glass
(from the windshield she W2nt through)
which neEds to be removed fran her
body.
In August FRED KELIEY and CHRIS GERNER
will beat JILL ANIBRSON and JOHN GRIECE
in th= race to the altar making 1983
NCVC' s marryingest year in historv, a
gram total of 3 with 4 rronths to go. I
have a feeling that there will be at
l east one more before the year is over .
Also, WJrd is ANDY GELLATLY dominated
the Little Red Zinger.
AUBREY GJRDON
gave NCVC its first Friday night victory
at Trexlertown on the 19th winning the
Point to Point.
