Have you heard of the Rock? Did you know that the first American auto race was held in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day in 1865? To commemorate the race the American Autosport Centennial Committee commissioned ‘The Rock’ in 1995 to mark the start and finish of the race in Jackson Park. Six cars entered the race, four gasoline powered and two electric, which took them North to Evanston and back. Internal combustion driver J. Frank Duryea won the race in 7 hours and 53 minutes. That’s really cookin’! @carsandcoffeeoakpark have been doing their own drive to the Rock on Thanksgiving Day. We were lucky enough to join them on last year’s run. Sign up to join us for this year’s Drive to the Rock. Drivers that RSVP (link in bio) will be entered into a drawing for our upcoming Chapman Manufacturing Co. collaboration, automotive micro tool set ($90 Dollar Value). Must be present to win. Our morning starts promptly at 7:45 am (1026 North Blvd Oak Park, IL 60301).
