Board track racing was an incredibly exciting event to witness. The motorcycles were capable of speeds over 100 mph and represented all the marques of the day. Manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson, Indian and Excelsior all had factory racing teams with custom built factory race bikes. Racers such as Jim Davis, Otto Walker, Albert “Shrimp” burns and many more made their names racing on the board tracks during the 1910’s and 1920’s.

Board tracks rocked. . . open wheel cars raced on them, too. Here is some video of that, with a bit of Indy in there, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LioDUXezgk
