Earlier this week I interviewed an AFT SuperTwins rider for a future issue of Sideburn. The name Skip Eaken came up. I knew the name, knew he was a team owner and tuner, but didn't know too many details. This tidy short film, from the AMA Hall of Fame, put a lot of meat on the bones and shows some great period photos of the late Eaken and the racers who worked with.

We have a great story on the Barbara Fritchie Classic in Sideburn 41. This is the oldest dirt track race in the world, coming up for its 99th year (Covid-19 allowing).

Buy Sideburn 41 to learn about the race and see great photos from its history.
