Is there any film footage from Priester's Park (St. Louis Motordrome), built in 1914 as a quarter-mile circle with 62 degree banking?? (Photos exist...)
cool boardtrack footage,.....I am looking for Motordrome footage if anyone has any? Motordromes (1908-1912) were 1/4 to 1/3 mile tracks and Boardtracks(1912-1920's) came later and were 1 to 2 mile tracks and is where Harley-Davidson's raced. Indian's dominated the early motordromes before Harley-Davidson officially entered the racing game
Culver City 1-1/4 mile track, bounded by Culver Boulevard and Overland Avenue, debuted a few weeks before Christmas in 1924 with more than 70,000 visitors in attendance.
Awesome movie.. Thank you soo much.

Great movie.
Add Salt Lake City to the list of board tracks. 1910 built at Wandamere Park by Jack Prince.
Thanks for the info zvr92, I wasn't aware of the SLC track. :)
***** Neither was I until a few years ago. They turned the whole park into a golf course (Nibley) in 1921. It's on 2700 South 700 East.
very cool
Where in Culver City was that track's address / location? Thanks for your time in advance.
