ELGIN

From 1910 until 1920, the Elgin Road Races were a highlight of the American auto racing scene.

In 1933, as part of the World Fair in Chicago, the races were revived for just one more time.

Two races were held, and many of the top drivers of the day competed. The first race, for stock roadsters, was won by Fred Frame. The second race, a "free for all" with no limit on engine size, was won by Phil Shafer.
