  • The History of Speed in Ormond Beach
    The History of Speed in Ormond Beach ORMOND BEACH, Fla. - In 1903, the smooth, hard-packed sands of Ormond Beach became a proving ground for automobile inventors and drivers. These first speed tournaments in the US earned Ormond the title “Birthplace of Speed.” Records set here during speed trial tournaments for much of the next eight years would be the first significant marks recorded outside of Europe. Motorcycle and automobile owners and racers brought vehicles that used gasoline, steam and electric engines. They came from France, Germany, and England as well as from across the United States. The Ormond Garage, the first gasoline alley before Indianapolis Speedway, was built in 1905 by Henry Flagler, owner of the Ormond Hotel, to accommodate participating race cars during the beach races. The Ormond Garage would house the drivers and mechanics during the speed time trials. Owners and manufacturers stayed, of course, at Flagler’s Ormond Hotel. Pictured: The Ormond Garage in 1905, with Louis Ross in his steam-powered "Wogglebug" No. 4 and other racers. Tragically, the Ormond Garage caught fire and burned to the ground in 1976, destroying one of auto history’s most important landmarks as well as antique cars owned by local residents who used the Garage as a museum. Sadly, all that remains is a historic marker, in front of SunTrust Bank, built on its ashes on East Granada Boulevard. Racing on Ormond Beach started in 1902. But the city’s famous connection with racing began in 1903 when the Winton Bullet won a Challenge Cup against the Olds Pirate by two-tenths of a second.

The train was built in France and tested between Strasbourg and Paris The trials were conducted jointly by SNCF, Alstom and Réseau Ferré de France The catenary wire was made of bronze, with a circular cross-section of 116 mm2 and delivered by nkt cables. Catenary voltage was increased from 25 kV to 31 kV for the record attempt. The mechanical tension in the wire was increased to 40 kN from the standard 25 kN. The contact wire was made of copper tin by nkt cables and has a cross-section of 150 mm2. The track super elevation was increased to support higher speeds. The speed of the transverse wave induced in the overhead wire by the train's pantograph was thus increased to 610 km/h, providing a margin of safety beyond the train's maximum speed.
