A wide grandstand view of the Cincinnati Motor Speedway in 1916 shows race cars on the track below a crowd packed into the stands. Panoramas like this were a popular way to record large events in the early 1900s, since a single exposure could take in thousands of spectators along with the machines competing for their attention. In 1916 motor racing was still young, and American speedways drew big crowds eager to see speed and engineering up close. The scale of the seating and the variety of cars in the frame show how quickly the sport had grown.
