Speedway Corp. of Los Angeles reflects the surge of interest in automobile racing and speedway promotion in Southern California during the early 1920s. This period saw numerous corporations organized to finance or operate purpose-built motor speedways, particularly wooden board tracks, as racing grew into a major spectator attraction. The Culver City Speedway (often referred to in the context of 1924 Los Angeles racing) was a 1.25-mile wooden board track featuring 45-degree banked turns, operating from December 1924 to March 1927. Built by Jack Prince and Art Pillsbury near Culver Blvd and Overland Ave after the nearby Beverly Hills Speedway closed, it hosted major auto races with seating for 85,000. It is issued to and signed by A. (Art) C. Pillsbury.
