NASCAR grew up from the indulgence in speed and running moonshine.  This activity led to engines being faster and then came the indulgence of speed as a sport.

Some information I know about South Dakota is I believe the state was admitted or ratified to the United States around or about 'November 2, 1889'.  South Dakota is located around latitude '44.5' and longitude of '-100' and has a population of roughly '886,667 million'.  If I remember correctly the capital is 'Pierre' and the largest city is 'Sioux Falls'. 

Seventeen automobile races, ranging from 20 to 250 miles in length, were held on four different race weekends in 1909 and 1910.  In addition, there were 65 auto races of shorter lengths (5, 10 and 15 miles) held on the same weekends.  None of the short races served as a qualifying race, or "heat" race, for the longer events.

If at any point you decide to reach to me just know the area code I work within for South Dakota is '605'.  For Racing assistance you will find my rates very reasonable for South Dakota.  Now just keep in mind my time zone is 'Eastern Standard Time (EST)' and I know the time zones in South Dakota are 'Eastern South Dakota: Central Standard Time (CST) / Western South Dakota: Mountain Standard Time (MST)' in case you wish to call me.  Anyway let me continue.

Each race stood on its own and earned its own trophy.  All 82 races were sanctioned by the American Automobile Association (AAA).  The 1909 races took place on the original crushed stone and tar surface.  As the weekend went on, the track surface began breaking up badly.  The final race of the weekend, scheduled for a 300-mile length, was shortened to 235 miles.  The next scheduled weekend of auto races, planned for early October, was canceled so the track could be repaved.

You know, I don't make it out to South Dakota much but I would like to see the 'Ring-necked Pheasant' state bird.  I am a little familiar with the South Dakota 'Pasque flower' state flower as well.  However, I do not know much about South Dakota's state tree the 'White Spruce'.  Fishing is fun to me perhaps I would like reeling in the South Dakota 'Walleye' state fish.  Anyway, sorry I went off topic.  Let me continue.

The track was paved in brick during the fall of 1909.  Over two days in December, several automobile and motorcycle racers conducted speed exhibitions, in extremely cold temperatures.  No races had been planned for that event.  The next races were run over three holiday weekends in 1910.
