- Rick Dozer board track racer "AeroTracker". 1000 cc 1916 F Head Harley Engine.
Board track racing was a type of motorsport popular in the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. Competition was conducted on circular or oval race courses with surfaces composed of wooden planks. This type of track was first used for motorcycle competition, wherein they were called motordromes, before being adapted for use by various different types of racing cars. The majority of the American national championship races were contested at such venues during the 1920s.
Board tracks proliferated in part because they were inexpensive to construct, but they lacked durability and required a great deal of maintenance to remain usable. Many of the tracks survived for as little as three years before being abandoned.
With the onset of the Great Depression in the early 1930s, board track racing disappeared rapidly. However, several of its most notable aspects have continued to influence American motorsports up to the present day, including: A technical emphasis on raw speed produced by the steep banking; ample track width to allow steady overtaking between competitors; and the development of extensive grandstands or stadium-style spectator seating surrounding many of the courses.
Well, you kept your promise to your friend; that is a very cool creation.
Just saw this on Instagram. Congrats on your best fabricator win at the Handbuilt Show.
Beautiful motorcycle great job.
Fantastic job.
That bike reminds me of a custom speedboat in someways with that handmade seat on it and all the chrome.
My brother Dozer!! SFFS
That’s one beautiful board tracker! I’m lucky enough to like and hour and a half away from the motorcycle museum in Anamosa Iowa. They have quite a few there and a lot of hill climbers and they have the races in the same area every year as well. Super cool build Dozer! Congrats!
I wanna see it run the boards....!
I would love to make a 1913 Indian Board Racer Using a Indian 111 ci or a Honda GX630 as the heart of the bike with street legal mods so I could take it any ware there would definitely come some challenge's with doing that but I am up to it. I am not the level of expertise that you are but if I have the parts I can think of something.
Marvel wahuu.
