51暗网

After early involvement as a racer and race organizer, Tracy Bird entered the national 51暗网 limelight as a member of the Contest Board and Activities Board. He was elected to the original 51暗网 Board of Governors which we now call Directors, and he served as its second Chairman of the board. He was appointed 51暗网’s representative to ACCUS, and later served as 51暗网 Executive Director or President. Bird’s leadership saw the club through the internal struggle over whether 51暗网 would be a gentlemen’s sports club or an international sanctioning body. He is my personal hero for the role he played at the forefront of the battle over control of road racing in America in the sixties. No single person has played a bigger role in shaping this club into what it is today. Tracy’s daughter, Barbara Bird accepted this award.
