Motorcycling in Santa Barbara County (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781531699567)

Starting in the early 1900s, Santa Barbara County became home to over a dozen motorcycle race courses. Not one of those battlegrounds survives today. Pershing Park once had a stadium, Elings Park on Las Positas Road was Veronica Springs Hill Climb Course, and before that, La Conchita was home to hill climbing and TT events. Motorcycling in Santa Barbara County will take the readers back in time to the glory days of two wheels on city streets and engage them in competition at its race tracks. Preserved in these pages are the first-hand stories of the men that competed on these courses as far back as 1924.
