West Bohemian Races and Circuits is a continuation of memories of motor racing on city circuits and hillclimbs. It loosely follows on from the editions from Central and Northern Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Road races in West Bohemia began in the mid-1920s. They were considerably more modest than those in other parts of the country, but for example the famous races in Pilsen Lochotín were very significant and famous racers regularly started in them.
The first pre-war part deals not only with racing in Pilsen and the surrounding area, but also in the spa town of Karlovy Vary. The second part chronologically deals with post-war racing in a number of places, Cheb, Kdyň, Klatovy and Nepomuk. In the third separate part, you will get to know several excellent racers, designers and mechanics, whose names were famous throughout Europe in their time - Otto Krattner, Josef Lukšík, Albín Patlejch, Václav Pauer, Josef Sloup, František Sutnar, Miloslav Vališ. The book is complemented by circuit maps, period, previously unpublished photographs and, as is traditional, results reports.
Monograph of motorcycle racer Miroslav Špak
Road, as the queen of motorcycle sports, has the oldest world championship. In our country, the Czechoslovakian championship is proud of its founding date in 1954. During its existence, the composition of the cubic capacities gradually changed. Sidecars also appeared briefly in it. During the existence of the Czechoslovakian championship, more than 800 riders took turns as participants. The best of them managed to permanently write their names in the historical winners' tables. The aim of my story is to bring both witnesses and the younger generation closer to the atmosphere of the races by looking behind the scenes. The individual stories of people, mechanics, competitors and also organizers of motorcycle road races tell how attractive and dramatic those times were.

With the warm words of the foreword by Prof. Pavek, which will set the reader in the right mood, the author slowly begins to unwind a continuous strip of memories. About his apprenticeship in a car repair shop and his first contacts with motorcycle handlebars, about exploring off-road motorcycle races. It is absolutely natural that Míla Souček likes to remember motorcycle sports in the colors of the army team - of course, after all, he was young, healthy and overcame random life obstacles with a smile. A separate chapter in his life, to which the author likes to return, is the period of motorcycle competitions with participation in the Six-Day Motorcycle Competition in Zlín in 1955. Between the lines, the perceptive reader can sense the devotion to motorcycles from Divišov. With ESO motocross specials of all three cubic capacities, he achieved success for our colors on tracks included in the European Championship. The last pages of the memories belong to motocross in Stříbr in 1963.
Reminisce with the author, recall the names and motocross tracks in the country and abroad.
