Archive Moto presents *GRIT*, the full and uncut documentary exploring the history of one of America’s most infamous and sensational sports, motorcycle *Board Track Racing*. For six action packed years the American motordrome captivated the nation, but in a flash they were all but gone. A multitude of factors led to the eventual decline of the venues; maintenance issues and expenses, weather interference, mounting safety concerns, decreasing factory interest, increased preference for dirt track and long distance racing, and the highly emphasized public distaste for what was often times a brutal and violent sport. In all, 26 timber saucers, America’s infamous board track motordromes

were erected between 1909 and 1914 following Jack Prince’s initial experiment of the concept Clifton in 1908. Though the tumultuous age of the American motordrome had its share of heartache and tragedy, the sport made fortunes for a few, provided good livings for countless more and their families, and entertained thousands. Moreover, the motordrome helped define a new America, an industrious and daring nation, a little rough around the edges but never lacking in Grit.
