As sort of a hobby of mine I like to research the history of my hometown, Tacoma, WA. In addition to it's awesome music history, rough past, and other really interesting topics Tacoma was once home to a HUGE board speedway! There aren't many images of it, and not much info, but last night I found some footage of a motorcycle race there! Boardtracker footage is really rare in itself, and this clip is from Tacoma! I pretty much freaked out when I found it, and my hair stood up as I watched it.
So here it is, Tacoma WA circa 1915, you have to download the clip before you watch it, but it's definitely worth it.
