[Leica] IMG: Wayback Photos - Ice Racing

[Douglas Barry]

Interesting stuff Alan. It appears to be very similar to US flat track 
on ice. I used to read the ice speedway reports and photos in MCN back 
in the day - 60s, 70s, and early 80s - when I was more interested in 
bikes. Those ice speedway bikes looked different and would seem to to 
almost lean 60 degrees from the vertical.

BTW I like the third shot best.
