Colour pics from the 60's

Flying!!!...

Vintage Longtrack (and Speedway) from Norway

Collection of vintage clips from the 1940's through to the 70's, there no sound for a while at the beginning and what commentary there is later on is in norwegian but some great images and even some cars racing on a longtrack circuit.

Bubble visors & race faces!

Stars of the 60's

Cycle Alley Riders from Lee Wiffen on Vimeo.

Some 60's Grasstrack USA style at 14:46! all of the video is well worth a watch though fantastic footage!! 

Vincent Power!

Ben at Sideburn Magazine sent me these shots of a vincent powered outfit looking like something out of a Mad Max film on display at last weekends Kempton Park classic off road show. Great to see some vintage sidecars still knocking about. I'm going to be involved in bringing an early 70's outfit back to life in 2013, more on that to follow......

P.S. Was this an earlier incarnation of the outfit? looks like it could have been, or were there a few vincent propelled monsters back in the day?

Update: I received this from my new goldmine of Grasstrack facts and artefacts, Carl Croucher. Thanks Carl.

'In answer to your question regarding the pictures of the Vincent grass track outfit YES they are one and the same! The black and white picture is of it in its hayday being raced right handed by Alan Jones from Liverpool. the colour pictures show it set up for left hand racing in the vintage class (plus the odd trip into mainstream left hand racing) in the hands of its owner Stuart Towner.'

60's American Grasstrack!

Great American video from the 60's featuring flat-tracking, hill-climb, road racing, what looks like a mixture of  trials and enduro and at 14:46 into the clip my first look at American GRASSTRACK!!
