    Auto & Motorcycle Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} The Brown Bullet Rajo Jack's Drive to Integrate Auto Racing Bill Poehler Summary The powers-that-be in auto racing in the 1920s, namely the American Automobile Association’s Contest Board, prohibited everyone who wasn’t a white male from the sport. Dewey Gaston, a black man who went by the name Rajo Jack, broke into the epicenter of racing in California, refusing to let the pervasive racism of his day stop him from competing against entire fields of white drivers. In The Brown Bullet, Bill Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the great lengths he took to even get on the track, and in the end, tells how Rajo Jack proved to a generation that a black man could compete with some of the greatest white drivers of his era, wining some of the biggest races of the day.

But be careful.... Brands can bite !!! This meeting kicks off the NG action for it's 48 th year of promoting motorcycle racing in the UK. For 2018 NG Road Racing and it's riders will visit eight of the UK's premier circuits from Brands Hatch, through Anglesey with the challenge of the Corkscrew, Cadwell Park and the Mountain, before the fast and flat Snetterton 200 circuit. Then it will be back to Wales with a summertime visit to the technical Pembrey circuit, from there we take the trip to Donington Park, followed by the Castle Combe Turn One at Brands | No place for the faint-hearted. David Irons Grand National Meeting with more stars and special leads the Sound of Thunder pack in..... He went on to take the title. attractions than you can shake the proverbial stick at before the championship finale at Oulton Park in October. That seems a long way away now, but once the season gets underway it will be round in a heart-beat with all-new champions. As anyone involved in racing knows, championships are hard won, and can never be won at round number one of the season..... However they certain can be lost ! .... an early season error means you are playing catch-up all year ! Brands Hatch has a reputation for a lack of grip early season.
