What is not known to many people is the fact that Sheepshead Bay was not all wood. The turns were wood and the straights were dirt.

Any idea where the board track in Cincinnati stood? I am doing a documentary on the board track racers and would love to visit the site which I’m sure is under several shopping plazas by now.

Dear sirs,

I’m a French journalist. I’m writing a book about Indycar and Indy-style racing from the early days until today. It will be publish, in France, in 2009.

I already got a lot of pictures of board racing, Indy 500, the Vanderbilt Cup, CART, etc. But any picture or story would always be welcomed.

Regards.

I have built a mini track and a somewhat scale model of a Miller car and mounted on same. It’s a art piece to behold, FOR SURE.

Good job you have done.

I live in Indy.

Thanks for the comments on your blog. I have great respect for Hemmings. Your blog is wonderful. The internet is great. But it has made me lazy. I used to love to pick up my “telephone book” copy of the Hemmings Motor News each month. I used to relish every page.

[...] went just a little nutty over vintage race photos recently. And by vintage, we mean early Indy, board track racing, Vanderbilt Cup racing and road racing in San Francisco in the 1950s. Plenty there to keep ya busy [...]

Rick, your site is stunning. While very sombre, it is an important resource for those of us who are immersed in the history of racing.
