Hey Olen,

Nice link, I just can't believe the work that had to go into this site. I check a few local tracks and this is very accurate.

Again nice find on your part!

Hi Olen,
Was there a special section for 'ladies', or did they not attend car races in the '20's? I would have loved to watch the cars on a wooden track. Wonder what difference in the sound there was.
