Описание: There are instantly recognized names in the racing world. Isle of Mann, le Mans, Indianapolis, Ulster, Daytona... One name which is not so recognizable is Frederick. Its an event with a past that will surprise most of those who thought they knew the history of motorcycle racing. Its a race that has quietly gone on, decade after decade with little notice. This race began in 1921. Distinguished from others by being promoted by the same people for generations and being sanctioned from that date till the present. Motorcycle racing though, has been taking place on this exact same track much longer. Motorcycle racing has been taking place in this city much, much longer. Notably, this annual race, 100-years in age, takes place each year on American Independence Day. The Fritchie runs on the fourth of July, just as the very first documented motorcycle to race in Frederick did, in 1900. Flat Track racing originated in America on the many county and state fairground tracks located in hundreds of cities across the continent. A uniquely North American sport celebrated here annually on the equally unique American Independence Day. The Barbara Fritchie Classic motorcycle race, is an unsung verse in racing history. An important verse deserving to be better recognized by race fans and history fans. A race whose significance and the true depth of its history, was never fully realized until now. This is not a coffee table book The first dilemma faced in this project was how to write a book for people who do not normally read history books. We hope you will agree that it was successful. We hope this is a book you will read, because it has much more to offer than facts, dates and statistics. The original target was the racers themselves, but as the research progressed, it was quickly realized that this is much more than the story of a race. The final product is not just for racers Anyone wanting to understand Frederick through the 20th century will find this book valuable. Anyone wishing to understand the evolution of racing through the 20th century will value this book. All those with any personal connection to this race, will relive memories in this book. The more than 380 illustrations are a major part of the story. These are not slick, crisp, artistic offerings. Most, like dirt track racing itself, are a bit fuzzy. Very few were originally produced with intentions of publication. All are black & white to keep the finished book affordable. We want you to read this book. We want you to carry it on the road with you. Curl the cover and dog-ear the pages. Use it to collect autographs. We want you to KNOW and appreciate this history, not leave it on a table or shelf. Countless contributors personal photos, vintage ads, posters, programs and period news reports bring the story to life. The names of those involved and how they connected to racing. The memories of past riders. How they connected to the machines, to each other, and to Frederick. Not simply Who, What, When and Where but as much as he has been able to, Ted Ellis has tried to explain Why. To bring The Fritchie to life, from the first race to the most recent. To tie the people to the events and the events to real peoples lives. The centennial BFC will be July 4th, 2021. If you only see one Barbara Fritchie Classic in your life, if you only see one motorcycle race, dont miss this one 100 YEARS OF FLAT TRACK RACING is the perfect companion as you prepare for that event, or afterward as you reminisce about it. The Barbara Fritchie Classic. Theres nowhere else to be
