Eddie Hasha (died September 8, 1912) was an American motorcycle racer on board tracks early in the twentieth century.
[2] In 1912, Hasha beat all of the established stars at the Los Angeles Motordrome, and set professional records in the process.
Traveling at 92 miles per hour (148 km/h), Hasha's motorcycle suddenly turned sharply into the rail surrounding the track.
[4] The now-riderless machine dropped back onto the racing surface into the path of last-place rider Johnny Albright.
[1][2] The deaths brought comparisons between board track racing and Roman gladiatorial contests.
[2][3] Short ¼ – ⅓ mile board tracks began to close after they were labeled "murderdromes" by the media.
