The " Wall Of Death"at the Iron Horse Saloon
 
 
 
 

.......... The wall of death sounds scary doesn't it ? The Wall of death is located at the Iron Horse Saloon. It is a large barrel like structure with a deck surrounding the top so spectators can watch. You walk up the steps and look down in the Barrel carefull not to spill your beer on the riders. This is a show where the daredevils ride old vintage motorcycles around the walls of this barrel shaped building.

.......... The first one up on the walls is Don Daniel's a young man in a small go-cart. He starts to drive around the inside little track then up onto the wall building up speed to hold him to the barrel. Then a man starts his 1945 Harley Davidson ride around one and climbs the wall and starts driving around as don drives his go-cart. both of them riding around with centrifugal force holding them to the wall without running into each other, This takes a tremendous amount of skill.

.......... The Last person is a young women riding a red white and blue Harley Davidson.... She starts off going around the track then zips up around the walls and stands up with no hands grabbing money out of the hand and mouths of the people watching while going around the walls of the Barrel. Pretty cool........
