Auto Race, Vintage amusement car ride at Kennywood Park, Pittsburgh, United States.
The Auto Race features electrically-powered miniature cars running through a wooden track lined with metal strips that deliver current to the vehicles.
Constructed in 1930 by Harry Guy Traver, this attraction replaced the former Racer roller coaster and underwent modifications in 1948 to remove track hills.
The station received an updated racing design in the 1990s with racing numbers on cars and artistic elements created by local artists Raphael and Kathleen Pantalone.
Children under 46 inches need accompaniment by a responsible person, and visitors should store their belongings in lockers before boarding the ride.
This attraction stands as the final remaining example of its kind, allowing guests to steer miniature cars through a winding track system.
