It is not intended to replace programs and activities, or provide specifi c legal, technical, or other advice. * 1 Introduction Automobile racing in America can be traced back to 1895, when six racers competed in a 54 mile race from Chicago to Evanston, Illinois and back for a $2,000 prize. Through snowy condi- tions, Frank Duryea crossed the fi nish line fi rst with a time of 10 hours and 23 minutes. The love of speed and competition has catapulted the popularity of racing as well as the types of racing to new highs annually. Autos and motorcycles are raced in a gamut of categories and the availability of local facilities draws many participants of all skill levels. Municipalities may own a racing facility, be it a drag strip, road course, or an old airport runway con- verted to a race track in efforts to bring tourism and revenue to the local area. Owning and operating a facility for this high risk activity is normally outside the scope of standard municipal operations, such as water treatment or playground maintenance.
