Danny Weil rides a motorcycle in a carnival motordrome known as the “Wall of Death,” which he says is only one of three left in the U.S.

It was this week in 1910 that the inaugural race was held at the Los Angeles Motordrome, the world’s first wooden plank track built for automobile racing.

At the Motordrome, erected near the beach in Playa del Rey, fans had a view of all the white-knuckle action on a one-mile circular track.

The Motordrome burned down after three years, but by then a number of other board tracks had been constructed to cater to Angelenos’ growing racing obsession.

Last year Business-getter Dobish worked up an act called "The Motordrome Wall of Death."
