The First American Grand Prix

The Savannah Auto Races, 1908-1911

Beschreibung

Provides an in-depth look at the First American Grand Prix (known as the ""Grand Prize of the Automobile Club of America""), the Vanderbilt Cup Race and the golden era of early road racing. It explores the feud over international racing sanctioning rights between the two major car clubs of the period, the AAA and ACA. The feud led to Savannah's selection as the home of the American Grand Prix Races from 1908 to 1911 and the 1911 Vanderbilt Cup Race. The book closes with the coming of motorcycle racing to Savannah.
