Race Day 3/21/26

This is another image from the Paul Sheedy collection.
 
What you see here is the starting field for the American Automobile Association (AAA) championship race at the Culver City board track on March 21, 1926. The top-four finishing order appears below. There is good reason to believe this is the race where Fred Comer was injured when a sliver of wood from the track pierced his forehead. He was relieved by Jerry Wunderlich. The top- four finishing order appears below.
 

  1. Bennett Hill
  2. Peter DePaolo
