More Board Track Racers

A while back I did a post on Board Track Racers, Interesting bikes ridden by mad men on slippy wooden tracks in the early part of the last century sort of sums up what it was about. I came across this blog, which shows the interest in the board track bikes, and the velodrome pacer bikes, is alive and well.

Also noticed this on their site, a Harley Davidson fore and aft boxer twin, a bike I never knew they built.....

A while back I posted a photo of a Board Track racer with a few words about the sport. Just came across this article in Smithsonian.com about one mans life long conection with the Board Track, interesting story I think.
