Description |
English: In september of 1914, nine "kid drivers" lined up two abreast at the starting line of the tacoma speedway in their smaller, less powerful "baby racers." The cars were built with motorcycle engines and were sometimes called "cycle cars." The planned race, the first of its kind to be held north of los angeles, was originally scheduled for september 8th. However, a torrent of rain interrupted what had been a string of dry days and drenched the dirt track, causing the race to be rescheduled for the following sunday at 1 p.m. However, true to form, the northwest weather produced a light but continuous rain on the 13th that fell nearly all day long and covered the track with water. The race was cancelled indefinitely and the drivers returned to the more predictable southern californiaweather. (Tacoma tribune 9/14/1914, pg. 8, 9/13/1914, pg. 2-b) |
