Any Board Track Racers?

A few years back, I got into the history of board track racers (Merkel, Indian, HD, etc.) after watching Harley and the Davidsons. It inspired me to build a replica.

Spent that winter building a 1910 Flying Merkel replica that's always been a hit at the local car shows. If I can figure out how to post photos, I will get them here for you to see.

Anybody else build one of these? They're certainly a conversation piece and, given how primitive they are, a relatively easy build.

You see a lot of board track builds on motorized bicycle forums. They usually install those Harbor Freight 212cc engines.
