NATIONAL LONG TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS
1995
BUTTE, MONTANA
Here in the United States, the National Long Track Championships is skated "pack style", as in short track. This is not to be confused with the
U.S. Championships, or "Team Trials", which are skated Olympic Style, or what we here in the U.S. call "metric". This is because our pack style meets were skated in yards and not meters prior to around 1970.
Here are some pictures of Long Track Pack Style races. See also the "Long Track Nationals at West Allis" page. These pictures, as were the ones on the other 2 Long Track pages, were taken with an "off-brand" 800 mm telephoto lens I bought at a garage sale for $50.00! An interesting effect of using a large telephoto is that it tends to compress the various objects in the picture. Therefore, in many of these pictures, the skaters are several feet in front or behind each other, not bunched up as they seem to appear.
