    I think it is now finished.

    A two car race and one car broke down at mile 15.
    74 has a significance to this town.

    congrats

    It's my hometown, Galesburg. 1899.

    I first read this in a book my brother sent me on Saturday. It actually said this was the first automobile race ever, period. I couldn't believe that, and it is quickly proven wrong, as the Smithsonian even acknowledges Chicago as the first race. Don't know why the author claimed that. So, I'm somewhat skeptical of the facts, except for the fact no one here named an earlier date, either.

    Since it is your hometown, the <b>74</b> reference is understood.
