Toto Grassin at the Newark Vélodrome
French motorpacing great Toto Grassin made to trips, in 1926 & 1927, to
race on the tracks in New York and New Jersey. Though not a great
photo, here we see Grassin in action against Chapman (probably American
George Chapman) on the track in Newark in 1927. Note the railings at
the top, and the treacherous drop-off from the track to the infield!
>From "L'Intran Match" No.283, 9 February 1932.
