For whatever it's worth:
1) One of Aldo Ross' "Pic Of The Day" photos shows the start of
the 1935 French road cycling championships on the
autodrome/speedway section of the the circuit. I'm guessing
this race included the road portion of the circut as well as
local roads. Anyway, the photo is so evocative it's dificult
to hold back the tears (for me anyway - you might be less
sentimental):

2) Here's an account of the last motor paced cycling record to
be set at the speedway:

3) There was never a proper velodrome on the property. I was
thinking of someplace else...
4) Now for a question. When did Mavic start selling rims with
the model name of Montlhery? Wouldn't it have been a passé
phrase by the 1970s?
Cheers,
