- 2016.95.4.1a: 16mm film. This home movie begins with a medium wide shot of an amateur race track. Cars race by as one man can be seen holding a green flag. Out of the left hand corner, a man can be seen leaning over the fence to take a photo. Shots of two antique cars, that appear to date back to the early 1900s, slowly drive by. A man sits on a motocross bike and talks to a small group of onlookers who appear to be admiring his bike and asking questions. Shots of more races, with different types of race cars, follow.
