Speedway


Pictured is Bruce Penhall, former professional speedway champion. Speedway bikes run on alcohol and make tons of horsepower - in a light chassis - these things are brutal. Crossed up and sliding, they make quick work of 1/4 or 3/8 mile indoor tracks and coliseums. Penhall cleaned up in the USA, then went to Europe and kicked ass. Then he was on C.H.I.P.S. with John and Ponch for a few episodes. Speedway is still hot - especially in So. Cal. But, it's hard to read the sponsers on the rear wheel when they're racing.
