bicycle racing

Thought this photo would be interesting to the historians. Shows Ronnie Householder's rail framed midget and a Schwinn bike racer after speed runs, 108 mph, I believe. (Kind of goes with the recent Jalopy Journal post) Any one know more about it? I remember it from a comic book story as a kid, thought it was pretty neat.

 

Motor pacing. Usually the bike follow motocycles with rollers on the back to prevent crashes.

Look at Vescos site and scroll down this page about 2/3 the way.

John Howard on the salt at 157 MPH. Makes that 108 pretty impressive behind a midget!

I knew some one on here would know about this. Pretty impressive, both behind a midget, and a streamliner! Thanks guys, anyone else?
