Antique Motorcycle Racing at Irwindale Dragstrip in SoCal June 28

[fordmike65]

If you're in the SoCal area and wanna see some antique motorcycles run 1/8 passes down the track, you can't miss this. Local bicycle, motorcycle and car enthusiast "Carburetor" Carl along with a few of his buds bring out their teens-30's motorcycles & get together at Irwindale Dragstrip. Once a year they show off some of their collection and put them through the paces, running them down the 1/8 mile track. Come check them out, and feel free to bring your own vintage motorcycle to run or show. Of course cars are welcome to race subject to an inspection and $20 track fee. Only $10 for spectators. Hope to see your there. 5:00-10:00pm at 500 Speedway Drive. Exit Live Oak and head West off the 605 Fwy.

Here's a short video of Carl's 1912 Pierce he'll have at the show tomorrow evening. That's Cabe member @Velocipedist Co. starting it up at one of the first Foothill Flyers rides.

I use to enjoy taking my RD/TZ to the strip. But I don’t ever recall an antique day?

Dag, this is something I would have loved to seen....any photos? Vintage Cars, motorcycles, and of course bikes are the best!

@Barto Maybe you can make it this year! Sorry for the late notice, but Carl is putting this on again tomorrow afternoon. Come by and check it out! If anyone happens to have an early motorcycle, bring it down to show or race!

Hey Mike, thx for the offer but my Jet is in the shop and my old Harley just just isn’t fast enough to make it on time !
Love vintage racing and cars but none of my friends are into it (need some new friends)!
