I'm 15 miles away from one, so if I ride over with a couple of wrenches, maybe I can pay the man for the time/laps on the velodrome track, turn the bike upside down and flip flop the rear wheel and turn a few laps ? When I'm done, I can return it to the freewheel and ride back home the 15 miles ? That's Saturday AM and Ican make it back home in time to eat lunch and watch the Fox baseball game of the week if I don't take a nap in the middle of it ?

You might not be able to do so, you will most likely to be fully insured to ride on the tracks. You might need to purchase insurance through your local cycling club. I don't know what the operation policies are for the states. For the velodrome in my city, Burnaby Velodrome, I have to be fully insured through my local cycling club to become a member of the velodrome club to even ride on the tracks.
I don't think they would let uninsured riders to be on the tracks.
