Along the lines of motorcycle racing, I got some national exposure.

Dick;
I'll bet that strech of autobahn was part of the old AVUS racetrack. It
originally was two long straights connected by banked turns on each end.
After the war when Berlin was divided into sectors, one end wound up in East
Berlin. I saw a motorcycle race there around the winter of '62-- scarey!
Motorcycles with & without sidecars tearing around the banked section in a
very cold rain. A foot or two higher on the banking and they would have been
launched into the parking lot. There's something inherently wrong with the
design of a vehicle where the driver is wrapped around the OUTSIDE of the
vehicle. I'll stick with vehicles that have me on the inside. To each his
own.......
