American Motorcycle Flat Track Racing History!

Archive Moto presents A Brief History of Speed - Part 6 looking at the history of motorcycle racing in America. What started with Indian’s Oscar Hedstrom on the sands of the Floridian coast in Part 1 of the Brief History of Speed series will end on the very same shores a half century later in the upcoming finale, coming full circle after birthing a vibrant culture of motorcycling in America. Take a trip back to the last days of the first Golden Age of motorcycle racing in America and the rise of a new era with the creation of the AMA’s Class C.
