Woody Headspeth

[1] His biggest success in the U.S. was his victory at the Six Day Race in Dayton (Ohio) that was disputed by single cyclists around the clock.

In Europe, he competed in the lucrative motor-paced races, most noted in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Headspeth would return to Europe, and together with the Bohemian Emanuel Kudela, he placed second in a 24-hour race at the Velodrome in Steglitz near Berlin, Germany.

He also worked as an assistant and mechanic on the cycling tracks, amongst others for stayer world champion Victor Linart.

He fled from France to Portugal, where he was cared for by the Red Cross as a member of the Repatriation Group 14 from Paris.
