Pro Short Track Race, Dayton Ohio Convention Center, 1974

[@claytonknight3078]

Got my pro license in 1974, and does this bring back memories. To see Guy Mcclure and JR Rawls who were fellow Texans among all the greats was so refreshing. Great video, but it would been nice to have sound and smell.

Thank you so much. Please comment ID info for any riders you recognize so I can add it to the description. :-)

@@kernjn Well I know #9 was Gary Nixon/#4 was Bart Markel/#50n was Guy Mcclure/#93 was J.R.Rawls/#44F I should know who that but his name slips my mind which is 64 years old! I hope that helps a little and thanks

Good old indoor follow-the-leader short tracking. Only way to pass is to force your way through. Skill alone won't do it. Why I quit going to the Timonium Indoors.

why are they racing on a roller-skating ring?

#9 Gary Nixon my HERO! Note, see my vintage Nixon tribute leathers from D's Leathers!

Duke was a "class act"!

[@GrandpaFumblefingers]

Duke Pennell was really one of the good guys back then. I damn near decapitated him at Springfield in 1969-1970 when I shelled a number plate about 10-15 feet in front of the start/finish line. When I walked down to pick it up, he mentioned he really liked the then new plastic plates. I made new ones the next week.
