All of the races here were run on this street course were done as part
of the ongoing festivities related to the Panama?Pacific International
Exposition, San Francisco's 1915 World's Fair. The track was set up to
run around the exposition grounds.

The fair itself was held to celebrate both the completion of the
American-built Panama Canal the prior year and San Francisco's recovery
from near total destruction in the 1906 earthquake. The exhibits that
year included the famous Liberty Bell, brought from Philadelphia just
for the festivities, and a giant model of the canal.

A unique feature of this World's Fair was that an actual Ford assembly
line was set up as one of the exhibits at the event. Guests could watch
each afternoon, six days a week as workers assembled real cars for sale
with a new one rolling off the line every 10 minutes. More than 4,000
Model Ts were built on the line during the event.
