Sadly, one of the most important and significant tracks is not mentioned in this book. Namely, Savannah, Georgia, which was the birthplace of the First American Grand Prix (then named Grand Prize) long before Watkins Glen and held the largest international road races in the pioneering days of motorsports with crowds of 150,000 in 1908 to 500,000 by 1911 when both Grand Prize and Vanderbilt Cup races were held.
