Abstract:

In 1924, racing first came to North Carolina at the old Charlotte Speedway. A crowd of over 30,000 attended the inaugural Indy-style race, and for several years, the board track racing attracted many fans. Today, there are no board tracks left anywhere in the world, and the old Charlotte Speedway no longer exists.\r\n
