This is a vintage film from the 20's of a Motorcycle race. It's between 5
and 10 minutes in length.

It's footage of early American board track racing taken by the Czech
importer of Indian Motorcycles. I've seen clear stills and grainy video of
the board track guys, but never have I seen such clear motion video of the
period.

Of course it's silent but there are explanations of what is happening.

The race is on an oval board track in Daytona.

The first race is a 10 miles M/C race. The second race is a 10 miles
sidecar race and the third is a 100 miles National M/C race for
professionals.

Film was shot at a US board track race by the Czech importer of Indian
Motorcycles. Very clear, pretty interesting.

Note the total absence of any "safety" equipment!
