Lion Motor Dromes...

I have seen "Wall of Death" acts and have done the whole "hand the rider a dollar" while he circles around the barrel boards on a small motorcycle, but I knew nothing of this until a picture was posted on the Jockey Journal a few days ago. I had to see more.

Apparently there were also "Lion Motor Dromes" back in the day too. Lions riding shotgun on bikes and carts while the driving loops ass around the inside of a 90 degree walled board track...that's nucking futs!!!

I pulled this pic from Sam Morgan's Thrill Arena website. She posted a lot of information regarding "motor dromes," board tracks, and "thrill arenas." There is info on the "lion motor dromes" too...That shit is cooler than cool.

Sam died on April 24th of this year.
