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.

It was my honor to interview the great John Surtees for this article. The only man to reign as world champion of both motorcycles and Formula One, Surtees' relationship to his father was similar to that of Tiger Woods and his dad. Absolutely dominate in motorcycles in the 1950's, he burst onto the Formula One scene to win the 1964 World Championship for Ferrari. A versatile driver, he won in Le Mans sports cars and won the 1966 United States Road Racing Championship. The sidebar coupled with the main article is brief interview with Mr. Surtees where he touches on his current activities as a motor sports consultant and industry advocate. This article originally appeared in the 2008 MotoGP program at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
