Auto Race (ride)
Auto Race, also known as Auto Train, is an amusement park ride that gave children their first chance to drive a car. It was conceived and designed by Harry Guy Traver of Traver Engineereing. This ride features a set of electric cars traveling through a wooden trough-like track lined with metal strips used to carry the electrical current that powers the cars. There is only one remaining Auto Race still operating which can be found at Kennywood, located in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the word race:
“All people who have reached the point of becoming nations tend to despise foreigners, but there is not much doubt that the English-speaking races are the worst offenders. One can see this from the fact that as soon as they become fully aware of any foreign race they invent an insulting nickname for it.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
