Cool track photo thread

[bigfriendlyvegan]

This forum's been quite lately, so I thought I would start posting interesting track photos as I come across them.

[rkelsen]

Holy smokes! That head tube is longer than the fork legs...

Would they be 700c wheels?

[scotto]

he is 7 ft tall according to the text !!

[bigfriendlyvegan]

72cm frame!

[foo on patrol]

There would be some serious flex in that frame, when he got out of the seat to kick!

[bigfriendlyvegan]

He would fail on this track:

Certainly would! He'd head butt the other riders.

Absolutely. And how's the wheelbase on the thing. It's a friggin' bus!

I have raced on some Showground tracks and you would be supprised at how fast they are.

The one downfall is, the dirt flies up into your eyes (goggles on) and you need to clean the chain after the racing.

Foo,
I am with you mate, plenty of showgrounds for me (they can be fast)
One meet from memory (early 70's), raced a top pacer at the opening of
Byford Trotting Complex, here, plenty of dirt flying, and I out-raced the pacer,
winning over 1000m (sat in, and sprinted).
Russell Roberts sponsored me, so I did it as an exhibition.
It was a race and pretty fast at that.
Will stick up the photo at a later date.

[foo on patrol]

That would be good Brentono.
