Found some old photos - track racing
 

Was at my parents house over the weekend and found some old photos that I decided to scan. Those helmets had to be incredibly hot.

Nelson Vail on the left - not sure about the right

Neat pics! Wish we had a velodrome where I live!

Washington Park in Kenosha , or there's one in Northbrook Il as well as one in Chicago,the Velo Campus ,and Major Taylor Velodrome in Indianapolis , and one in St. Louis . We're spoiled for choice in the Mid-West

Don't forget The Velodrome at Bloomer Park near Detroit.

The big guy with the red helmet resembles Marty Nothstein.

....and don't forget our Velodrome at the National Sports Center in Blaine,MN!

A great place to spend a Thursday night in the summer.

Yeah, we have one in St Louis, but it leaves much to be desired. They call it Mr. Bumpy for good reason. But it is a track and it does get ridden.
