Video Just found- 1919 Marion Indiana road race !!!
1919 Marion 200 mile Championships


While passing through YouTube I can across this video that was just published.... It might be the most important new footage of antique motorcycle racing to surface !!!
I've posted a link to it as it is now up on my website...

If this doesn't get you excited, nothing wimll.... I guarentee you'll watch it more than once or twice... See Red Parkhurst...Ralph hepburn...Otto Walker and a host of others captured racing... Cross reference this race with Stephen Wrights "American Racer"...

Filmed in modern 24 fps, not the jerkey silent hand cranks you are used to seeing... Watch the bikes rip 90+mph on the 2 mile straightaway !!!!

Enjoy...

Bill
