Image Info

Car No. 2 on Old Orchard Beach, where auto racing was held at least from 1911 to 1913.

The beach at low tide made a good racing surface; races could take place two hours either side of low tide.

The start and finish line was the pier and Googins' Rocks was the southernmost turning point.
