The track database is updated and now stands at 1,014 circuits that have held at least one event, including ovals, road courses, street
circuits, drag strips and a few off-road. The research gets easier as more historical newspapers come online. I found several dirt ovals
in the western provinces that ran in the 1950s and 1960s. It seems every small town ran flat-track motorcycle races at the local fairgrounds
in the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s.
I have also been researching track champions
this winter. I have added about 1000 new
entries to the champions lists.
