Billy Lane has been thinking about boardtrack motorcycle racing for 15 years. During Daytona Bikeweek 2017 he turned that dream into a reality at New Smyrna Speedway in a big way. Thousands of fans turned out for the event and history was made! Buzz Kanter of American Iron Magazine was a fierce competitor and just missed a podium finish. Now he is documenting the race event in a three part series in American Iron. We get his stories from behind the handlebars as a competitor! Shelly Rossmeyer of Rossmeyers Harley Davidson entered her first official racing event riding her 1915 Harley-Davidson to a third place podium finish! She did it the hard way by racing her way into the Main event from the Last Chance Qualifyer. She tells her story in this episode of Talking Motorcycles. Brittney Olsen of 20th Century Racing used her racing experience and a well tuned motorcycle to ride her way to the record books as the winner of the first Sons of Speed. With two female riders on the podium can we still call it Sons of Speed? Talking Motorcycles with Barry Boone is brought to you by Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires, Bell Powersports, Clearwater Lights, Rossmeyers Harley Davidson and Sweet Marlays Coffee and Bakery in Daytona Beach.
