board track racing

Board track racing was a form of motorcycle and automobile racing popular in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly from the 1910s to the 1920s. Races were held on wooden oval tracks, often banked, which allowed for high speeds but were notoriously dangerous due to splintering wood and lack of safety measures.
