Cactus Flat Track

Good news from Mike in Texas

 Just wanted to let you know SB No. 1 now completes my collection; I was fortunate to win a copy of your inaugural issue from the gentleman who was selling another one on eBay (which you recently announced in the blog). I thought you might want to see its new home. 


Also, Saturday was a great day for flat trackers here in the States, too; witness the shots made by yours truly at Cactus Speedway, a family-owned 1/5-mile red clay oval in East Texas. The races were sanctioned by the Vintage Dirt Track Racing Association, a Texas-based organization that holds such events across the Lone Star State as well as Colorado and Oklahoma. Practice started around 6 p.m. and the final main ended just before midnight. Good stuff! Mike

Holy crap! I don't wanna sound like the archetypal wanky designer type... but the look at the colour of that track! I could eat it up :)

I'm pretty sure Poppa Wheelie has it right, that DOES look like Johnny K on the 17T Honda, one of his great works of art!
