Lakeside Racetrack (642 words) |
 | Oldfield learned the intricacies of automobile racing and having driven only one car in his life, he raced it at the Old Grosse Point Blue Ribbon Track, and completed the five miles in a world's record time of five minutes and twenty-eight seconds. |
| Oldfield later drove a Peerless automobile which became known as the "Green Dragon." This was a successful race car which he purchased and used to barnstorm his way across the country, racing and giving exhibitions when he could. |
| Barney Oldfield in his "Green Dragon" was to be featured in a match against Bruno Seibel in the "Red Devil" on Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21, 1907. |
