Racing

However, sophisticated engineering and big budgets dominated some racing forms. On the contrary, other forms appealed to people with little engineering education and modest means.

Throwback to the First Auto Race in America

The first automobile race Americans witnessed was a round trip city-to-city race. Several fearless motorists showed up their guts to race to Evanston from Chicago and then back. The race was won by a Duryea motor. A water-cooled 4Hp, 2-cylinder motor powered the vehicle. Moreover, its maximum speed was 20mph but averaged just 7.5 mph during the race.

The open-road racing wasn’t as popular as oval tracks in the US. The fact is that oval tracks appealed to large crowds who paid to watch every action from a safer distance.

Origin of Boat Racing

On 10th June 1829, the first boating race was held at Henley on the Thames. Oxford won the race, and the River & Rowing Museum of Henley still preserves the winning boat. People have been involved in various boating races and other water-based crafts over the years.

However, the rules are continually changing, sometimes for economic reasons and sometimes for technical causes.
