Today in History……June 19, 1915 Chicago Speedway Park . Indy/Championship car racing first appeared in the Chicago area in 1914-1915 at Galesburg District Fairgrounds. Both races were 100 laps around the 1-mile dirt oval. AAA held races at Speedway Park, a 2-mile board track in nearby Maywood, Illinois. The first such race was a 500-mile event in 1915. Subsequent races ranged from 10-300 miles, and the final race was held in 1918. The track was eventually demolished, and the Edward Hines Veterans Hospital now stands on its former location.

     I dig these posters so much. It makes for such a fun hobby. When ever I put together these orders to get shipped out, I always lay them out and take a look at the prints before I roll it up for the tube and say “Man , this is an awesome poster !!” .. or “I LOVE the art work on this one !!” . And most of the time my wife will laugh at me in the background, because I say it so often. And I tell her they ARE cool, they ARE awesome. Like the one today , the 1956 Dodge City Motorcycle Racing Poster Print. The motorcycle racing prints are great. This is simple art , very classy . This 50′s reproduction print measures 14.25 inches wide x 22 inches tall. A nice tall print that looks fantastic all framed up. Framing these totally takes them up to another notch.

So for this Father’s Day buy him a cool poster for his garage or workshop. You know he will love it. It still amazes me how many people use Amazon more than eBay these days. And also how much eBay is trying to be like Amazon with stuff like “Daily Deals”  and such. I am not sure what website I found , but it does a comparison when you plug in two websites addresses in. And the graph that came up was so impressive. The Amazon hit counter was climbing and has been for a few years now, as for eBay it was down down down. I know everywhere I go these days its Amazon, Amazon , Amazon all over sites with item links to products. They totally know what they are doing.
