CR'rs,

i know there are some California based extra vintage racers out there who might be able to help. Here is a great photo I got from Andrew Ritchie of the start of the 1947 Bob Brown road race in berkeley. I made a little webpage for it here:

http://tariksaleh.com/bike/bobbrownrr.html

Be sure to click on the photo for the big version which is a good enough scan to zoom in on a bit to see the riders and the gear.

If any of you have any info on the riders or the race or any thing to flesh it out email me and Andrew at: tsaleh@rocketmail.com and jabritchie@hotmail.com and I will update the page a bit.

All I can add is what I wrote on the page, the UA theatre is still there with the same sign on Shattuck in berkeley as are most of the surrounding buildings.

Otherwise, enjoy a nice picture of vintage racing US style...

Tarik
