From Press Release
On Jan. 9, 1915, AAA and Al Bahr Shrine sponsored a 300-mile road race over a 6-mile course around Point Loma on roads that still exist today. On the morning of the great race, an estimated 50,000 people spread out along the course to watch the spectacle. The San Diego Union newspaper proclaimed, “It was the greatest throng ever seen at one event in San Diego, excepting, perhaps, the opening of the exposition.”
On January 12th, 2025, our Vintage cars will be driving from the San Diego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park to Point Loma, where they will drive two laps of the original race route on Rosecrans, Lytton, Chatsworth, Catalina, Talbot, and Canon Streets.
The Point Loma drive will be from 11 AM to 12 N. We are the San Diego regions of the Horseless Carriage Club of America and we are doing this just to share our vintage autos with the public. We expect it could be a lot of fun for kids (of all ages) to gather along the route and watch the parade of cars as old as 1907 drive by.Come inside for all the details
