N.C.R. Speedway - 1924

Thanks to First Super Speedway follower Major Simms we can share this "mystery" photo. This is a poster to promote a race held in 1924 at N.C.R. Speedway. Major is inquiring about more information:

Where was this Speedway?
When in the year was the race held?
Who won? Other results?
How many years was the track in operation?

If anyone knows more, please contact me and we can help Major - plus get the story published here.

The first Ira Cobe Trophy ran in Crown Point, Indiana in June 1909. The event was not well attended and the course was judged to be a mess. Cobe moved his trophy to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for 1910.
