On March 28, 1903, Ormond Beach was
the site of a thrilling one-mile race
between pioneer auto builders. The Hotel
Ormond Challenge Cup pitted Alexander
Winton's red Bullet against Ransom E. Old's
Pirate, driven by engineer H.T. Thomas.
Winton and his heavier Bullet barely won—
the recorded time 75 seconds, or 48 m.p.h.
Another winner was Ormond Beach, soon famous
for its sand racecourse and world speed marks.
