Catalina GP racing in 1952
With the revival this year of the Catalina Island GP, the first time it has run since 1958, I dug into The Kneeslider research library and came up with a few photos of the early years. I found a couple of articles from 1952 and 1958. Times have changed but some who remember the original races are pretty excited.
From what I hear, accommodations are already in short supply so if you are planning to go, you might want to make arrangements soon.

it would be very cool if they included a race for electric bikes like the isle of man has done. more exposure is never a bad thing, unless your janet jackson
These are awesome. I love old racing photos =)
My step-father Bob Sandgren won a few of those races. He will be at the revival. He still loves and rides both street and dirt bikes and owns at least 3 of them.
