Pop Quiz !!
The oldest continuous automotive race in the USA is the Indianapolis 500 held every year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
QUESTION: What is the second oldest continuous automotive race and in what US city is it held? Remember, Speeeeeeeling Kountz.

The Indy race is actually in Speedway Indiana, outside of Indianapolis.
My guess would be the Southern 500 in Darlington, S.C. |

Pikes Peak Hill Climb? Continuous since 1916
As the Indy 500 was not run during both World Wars, is Pikes Peak in fact the oldest continuous?

I think Andy got it. But do I get partial credit Larry for know the Indy 500 is in Speedway?

First:
Good guess Andy, but you did not get it. I am asking for a race. I do not think of a hill climb as a race. Second: Yeah, you get a point. Isn't Speedway, Indiana actually surrounded by Indianapolis? I guess it is like the Vatican in Rome. HINT: Some SVXers may have competed in the preliminary rounds of this "race".

All I remember is the firecracker 400, but that's probably extinct by now.

Speedway is outside of Indy. I think 10 miles or so.
