Yes the commentary is TERRIBLE, granted.
But 6:30 in. Alfred Letourneur, sleeping in his oxygen tent during his off shift at the Madison Square Garden Six Day in 1934.
this just out too - early experimentations with blood doping - very good read

KR that was cool. And the commentary was kind of fun too.
Would a Six Day race sell in the states?
well if it were set up like the 6-day straight thing at MSG -- I think thats a definite NO! -- a couple day track event would be nice to see tried tho.
A week-long tour like California -- thats a yes. But has to be in the right place -- Colorado, California -- maybe even Texas or Florida? Yeah. I always liked the tour of Georgia -- wish that were back on the sched. When something so good as that and well-attended by the pro-peleton cant make money -- you know its slim pickings here in the good ole US of A
