Welcome to the Murderdrome | A Brief History of Board Track Racing
Board Track Racing was a big deal 100 years ago. It came up suddenly, flourished for a few years and then quickly disappeared. The bikes were models of simplicity: an engine, frame, wheels, a seat, and go as fast as you can. You still see people trying to make simple motorcycles with everything extraneous stripped away. About the closest you can come now is flat track racers.
Not too long ago a guy went to a great deal of trouble to recreate one of the pre-eminent board track racing machines. It's pretty amazing.
