Duryea sits at the tiller of the horseless carriage he designed, built, and drove to victory in the 1895 Chicago Times-Herald race. Beside him is umpire Arthur W. White. The event, held November 28, was the first official auto race in the United States. Wikipedia wrote In 1895, a second Duryea (built in 1894),[2] driven by Frank, won the Chicago Times Herald race in Chicago on a snowy Thanksgiving day. He traveled 54 miles (87 km) at an average speed of 7.5 mph (12 km/h), marking the first U.S. auto race in which any entrants finished. -- Last edit: 2024-06-24 00:48:24
