This is the cleanest, most readable article on the 1914 Cactus Derby on First Super Speedway. It was published in the November 19, 1914 Motor Age. The article is broken into two parts, because, frankly, I made a mistake and omitted the last page on my first pass. I could have done more work to stitch it all together, but I think this works, don't you? Note that in the second attachment we discover that the Metz entry was late to finish, but did arrive in Phoenix at midnight. Wing, the driver, drove it to the Adams Hotel where everyone was celebrating and steered it through the front entrance and into the lobby.
