Sidewinders Sunday

 Came across a neat Sidewinders display at the Multnomah County Library, Downtown Portland ,OR. Celebrating the Clackamas TT track that was built on the side of a hill with about a 25 degree slope. The front straight uphill the back straight downhill, small 3/8 oval. They called it a TT track because it certainly was not FLAT. It was a mainstay of dirt track motorcycles in the N.W. until the price of real estate rose dramatically and the fact that all the surrounding empty lots had been sold to Condo developers. Eff progress !
