Thanks to e-Richie, Duane Kennard, and Mark Bulgier for doing this cooperative site. What fun!
The pic on the cover of the '69/'70 Carlton catalog can't be right -- the lead riders (Carlton) have fenders, brakes and baggy pants -- on the track no less. Maybe it's part of some sort of wind turbulence creation scheme that hinders passing attempts by those non-Carlton riders. Or maybe, since it's an outdoor track, the forecast was for rain. ;-)
