J. Frank Duryea, who was born on this day in 1869, with his brother Charles, built and operated the first automobile in the U.S. He also won America's first automobile race. If you could participate in any type of race what would it be and why? Would it be on land, in the water, in the air or a combination?

If i could participate in any race it would be in an automobile race. It would be on land. I would participate in this type of race because it is really fun to drive fast. I would want to do this race in a manual car because they are fun.
