Detroit in 1909 was already the center of the young American automobile industry, with Packard, Cadillac, and the Ford Motor Company building cars in factories across the city. Its population was climbing quickly toward half a million, as workers arrived from Michigan farms and from abroad to fill new jobs in plants and their supply shops. Automobile racing and endurance runs were a popular public spectacle, and crowds turned out to watch cars test their speed and reliability on local tracks and roads. Detroiters of the day knew their city as the place where the motorcar was being made, and a scene built around automobiles fits that reputation.
