Road Race Centennial Event
Local groups of the Horseless Carriage Club of America commemorate the 1915 Road Race that was the opening event for the Panama-California Exposition.
A living history show of the cars of the period will be presented in front of the San Diego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park. At 10 am, the road-worthy cars will tour out of Balboa Park to the race venue in Point Loma where they will retrace the route of the race, returning to Balboa Park for the rest of the car show. The drivers and their families will describe the cars and participate in a living history of a 1915 era outing in the park.
The public is invited at no charge to the show and to observe the tour along the route. At 10:30 am a ceremonial start will be held at the original grandstand area on Rosecrans Street at Elliott Street in Point Loma.
