EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and thrill of an early stock car race held in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, near the picturesque Lakes Couchiching and Simcoe, in the year 1914. The image showcases a group of intrepid drivers and their stock cars, poised for the start of the race. The raw power and determination of the drivers are palpable, as they prepare to put their machines through their paces on the dusty track. The Bingham Undertakers, a name unrelated to the funeral service business, were among the participants in this historic event. Their car, a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era, is seen at the center of the image, its distinctive features and bold colors setting it apart from the others. The team's determination is evident in their focused expressions and the tense body language of the crew members. The early days of automobile racing in Canada were a time of innovation and adventure, as the burgeoning industry and the public's fascination with the new technology collided on the race track. This photograph offers a glimpse into that bygone era, a time when the simple joy of motoring and the thrill of competition were the driving forces behind the sport. The serene backdrop of Lakes Couchiching and Simcoe, with their crystal-clear waters and lush greenery, provide a stark contrast to the raw energy and intensity of the race scene. This image is a testament to the rich history of motorsports in Canada and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the open road and the thrill of the race.
