In the early 20th century, the thrilling world of automobile racing took a bold turn with the introduction of board tracks, high-banked wooden racing circuits that saw fearless drivers push their machines to the limit. This event will highlight the ingenuity and innovation of brass-era race cars and the daring pioneers who raced them.

This Demo Day offers a unique opportunity to explore the history of brass cars and board track racing, as well as to engage with fellow enthusiasts, historians, and automotive experts. Join us at the Simeone Museum on April 8, 2023, for “Crank ‘Em Up… Brass Cars and Board Tracks” and immerse yourself in the captivating world of early motorsport.

Witness these spectacular machines come to life with live demonstrations on our 3-acre back “track”. Feel the rumble and listen to the unmistakable roar of their engines, as our experienced drivers recreate the exhilarating atmosphere of early 20th-century racing.
