This racetrack was an important mile marker in early auto racing. It hosted a ton of the pioneer race car drivers. There are many pictures that depict actual races, grandstands, crashes, Indian motorcycles, etc. Just do a google image search of "readville race track" and you'll see what I mean. Many of these pics are on flicker and were taken prior to 1923, or are part of the Boston Public Library, but I'm not well-versed in the copyright use. I'm hopeful someone more knowledgeable can assist in enhancing the article by adding a photo or two. Thanks!

Unfortunately, none of the flickr images are usable -- they are all possibly dated in the 1930's (they all either say 1930, 1932, or "1917-1934" which isn't helpful), and the CC license they selected is CC-BY-NC, which isn't usable on Wikipedia or the Commons. I tried poking around a general google search but couldn't find anything specifically useful. I've added the "image requested" template to this talk page to see if maybe someone else can give it a try someday. —Darkwind (talk) 01:12, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I was afraid of, but I really appreciate the effort!!! Jtlanghorne (talk) 12:28, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
