Historie
Chicago var vert for et første internasjonalt spill i 1879 . Et amerikansk lag var engasjert mot et lag fransk og engelsk. Alle satset $ 2000 for å se hvilket lag som kunne tråkke lengst. Amerikanerne tok ledelsen i starten i 100 mil. Med denne fordelen håpet de å overvinne det tidligere ubeseirede laget.
Uansett plassering var handlingen rask og fall var hyppige. I 1947 , på Chicago Coliseum , tok det løperne litt lenger tid å varme opp. 3 og et halvt minutt etter start fant det første fallet sted. Senere ble sykkelen til René Paquin fra Montreal , fra det kanadisk-amerikanske paret, blandet opp med sin partner, Willie Anderson fra Cleveland , og de to sårede befant seg på bakken, mens Anderson haltet til den lille køya hans.
I 1957 ble Carl Stockholm og andre tidligere mestere rekruttert for å krydre et racingprogram på International Amphitheatre . En reporter fra Chicago Tribune bemerket: "De eldste stod inne i det ovale, med blanke, pensjonerte brannhester, da de deltok på de første seks dagene i Chicago siden 1948" .
