Hi everybody. New-ish guy here. I have been a member for about three months and have posted only once or twice. I check the forum frequently though. I really enjoy reading about these great old bikes and everybody's projects.
My big project is that I am researching and writing a biography of Erwin G. "Cannon Ball" Baker, the famous motorcycle and automobile racer/driver. I am looking for stories, anecdotes, and pictures relating to him and his exploits. Maybe some of you AMCA members have some good info or pictures tucked away somewhere?
I have done extensive research already. What I'm hoping to find is obscure or unpublished materials that give insight into his life, or a behind-the-scenes look into how he set his records, etc. I would love to see letters, telegrams, and other correspondence; or read first-person accounts from people who met him or worked with him.
If you have a story or a lead, please feel free to drop me a note here or through my profile email. Thanks!
