Racing Motorcycle Tapestries
Description: Here are the questions you can expect to get when you own a KTM: "Nice bike, who makes it? Yeah, but who makes the KTM? Kawasaki? Can you explain it to me in terms of cars, guns, football teams, apple pie, obesity, or something else American so I can understand it?" "Where's Austria? Is it by Australia? Did you mean Australia?" "Nice Kawasaki."
Description: Altamont Speedway was a motorsports racetrack located in northern California, west of Tracy. The track opened on July 22, 1966. Altamont contained a variety of different track configurations including a 1/2 mile oval, 1/4 mile oval, 1.1-mile road course, and a figure 8 track, and was the state's largest oval racetrack north of Los Angeles. Altamont Speedway is well known for its December 6, 1969, hosting of the notorious and ill-fated Altamont Free Concert, featuring several top rock acts. After 42 years of racing, the speedway closed in October 2008.
