Comparing the summary OF 1870
motorcycle competition with that OF
1919 two facts are apparent, namciS,
tho great increase in the number OF
competitive events and second, inc
great increase in speeds for both solo
and sidecar races.
In 1920 there woro So race meets
officially reported as compared with
"a in 1919 over 80 endurance runs
were held, whereas, there were only
% sanctioned in tho previous year
Remarkable speeds wero attained IN
tho straightaway trials at Daytons
Reach, Fla, in February and April
1890, in both solo and sidecar classes.
New records for the kilometer, one.
two and fivo miles were made Tor IN
tornational recognition. The hgureS
have not been equalled in any country
either before or since the dates men
toned. Speeds in sidcar races and on
half milo tracks have greatly IN
creased. Nineteen National Cham
nionsbips at various distances were
contested as compared with IL in 1919.
