There was a board track here in Nutley, New Jersey where they raced bicycles and midget racers. The track was a killer. One driver lost control sending the car into the catch fence. His head caught the fence and he was decapitated. The car came down on the track still running and continued to circle the track. This lead to the end of racing in Nutley. The little number 23 up high is my grandfathers friend Johnny Ritter in an ELTO (Evinrude) powered midget.
