Trimble —Page 3 Tommy Milton and his Duesenberg racing across Daytona Beach on the way to a new world speed record in 1920. This portrayal is by Peter Heick, a very successful magazine and advertising artist. Helck’s realistic and highly detailed works often captured the drama and speed of racing. Sometimes called the “Dean of American Motoring Artists,” Heick (1893-1988) produced hundreds of sketches, drawings, and paintings during his career as well as writing two illustrated histories of racing.

    Yesteryear at the Uniontown Speedway 1921 An excerpt from the book, Yesteryear at the Uniontown Speedway By Marci Lynn McGuinness Big Farm Power Test at Speedway Monday Almost 2,000 people from southwestern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia were guests of Henry Ford and 22 Allied Ford dealers in the northeastern United States for the first combined demonstration of farming machinery ever held in Fayette County, May 23, 1921. Farming motorists from all around came to view and test every kind of farm equipment that had yet been invented to aid in crop growing.. Four railroad cars of equipment was shipped from Washington, Pennsylvania, where Ford had held a similar demonstration. This included plows, harrows, discs, thrushers, saw mills, stone crushers, pulverizers, feed grinders, shredders, hay bailers, and corn pickers. There were more than fifteen companies represented in addition to the Ford Motor Compny with its Fordson Tractors. The demonstration began at 9am with a dinner being served free of charge to all on the grounds at noon. At this time tickets were being sold for the Universal race coming up in June. A full row of box seats had been added to the covered section of the grand stand. Mulford Breaks All Records In Page Stock "6" Under official sanction and supervision, Smiling Ralph Mulford drove his Paige Cat to break records for the 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mile marks May 20, 1921 at the Uniontown Speedway.

  • Indianapolis 500 Cars at Pebble Beach Cobncours 2010 -Pdf
    The Indianapolis 500 Turns 100 By Donald Davidson n just a few months’ time, believe it or not, the Indianapolis 500 Mile race will embark Ion its second century! It is difficult to comprehend that of all things, an automobile race should be able to span a period of 100 years and still be I flourishing. And yet, next May 29, the “500” will be con - ducted for the 95th time, the only interruptions to an other - wise consecutive run having come when the United States was involved in the two world wars. Perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that this iconic event always has taken place at the very same venue , for, while it has certainly changed dramatically in appearance over the years, the drivers of 2011 will negotiate precisely the same 2½-mile path that challenged their forerunners a century ago. In fact, apart from the places where the track passes over the six infield tunnels that have been installed since the facility opened, all of the early surfaces are still there, buried a couple of feet beneath the blacktop of today. Contrary to a popular myth, the track did not debut with the inaugural “500.” By then it was already in its third season. It had opened in the summer of 1909, and the original idea for the facility had been spawned perhaps as many as six years before that. It was the brainchild of an energetic self- made Indianapolis businessman named Carl Graham Fisher, who had sought a solution to the growing problem faced by the fledgling automobile industry, specifically: “How can we thoroughly test the vehicles we are attempting to sell to the public?” Inset: History is in the making as the very first Indianapolis 500 is set to begin.

    Honoring and Preserving the Sports History of Chautauqua County 15 West Third Street, Jamestown, NY 14701 September 2016 Auto Racing in Chautauqua County When one thinks of the sport of auto racing in Chautauqua County the name Stateline Speedway comes immediately to mind. Stateline, which opened in 1956, recently celebrated its 60 t h anniversary. Although Stateline Speedway is the only stock car track still operating in Chautauqua County, auto racing has a long and proud tradition in the sports history of our county. In the 1950s there were numerous jalopy tracks operating in locations throughout Chautauqua County. Speedways near Forestville, Findley Lake, Dunkirk, Fredonia, Hanover, Gerry, Frewsburg, Panama, Sherman, Westfield, and Silver Creek were popular sources of family entertainment. In the late 1930s and early 1940s Chautauqua County racing fans enjoyed the action at Satan’s Bowl of Death (Busti) and at Jamestown Speedway (route 380 north of Kimball Stand). But on September 6, 1941, 75 years ago, just three months before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the eyes of auto racing fans in Chautauqua County were on the half-mile oval at the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds in Dunkirk… Horn Set State Record in Chautauqua Auto Races Dunkirk, Sept.6 — A new state five-mile record for a half-mile dirt track and a series of accidents with one driver sent to the hospital, marked today's nationally-sanctioned automobile races at the Chautauqua County fairgrounds. Ted Horn, Los Angeles, Cal, furnished the new state record in winning the first elimination heat for the victor sweepstakes in 4.14 1/2.
