Action photos from Providence Day's varsity track and field meet on Tuesday, Mar 10, 2020. {Providence Day Photo / Mike McCarn}
In the 20's and 30's before hot rodding began oval track racing was popular both with purpose built race cars and also with modified roadsters based on production cars. This one mirrors the "Track Roadster" of those days and was based on a Ford Model T.
Invent, improvise: a bicycle with a device attached to it acts as a permanent way (railway tracks) inspection vehicle. This is in the Nairobi Railway Museum. Ingenious, though how practical it was I do not know. (Oct/ Nov 2010)

Gitane Track Bike. Unknown Year '74-'77, unknown model presumed to be "School". French threading and diameters throughout. French bars and saddle purchased for this build but the rest was just things I already had and could throw on.
Several years ago, I found a plethora of animal tracks deep inside the cave, thousands of feet from the known entrance. Most of the tracks had been destroyed or severely impacted by modern caver traffic. I recently learned they were most likely made by the extinct flat-headed peccary. They became extinct around 11,500 years ago. This makes these tracks a very old and a precious resource. There are very few intact tracks left. If one visits the far reaches of 19th Unnamed Cave, beyond the "Six Foot Pool", please remain in the existing muddy trails. The tracks can be seen on the old patinated mud banks using side-lighting.
