The Fulford–Miami Speedway was a AAA Championship Car wood race track located in North Miami Beach, Florida. It was the first speedway built in South Florida.[1] The {{convert|1.25|mi|km|abbr=on}} track was built in 1925 by Indianapolis Motor Speedway co-founder Carl Fisher, who was also developing the city.[2] To help build the track, Fisher hired 1911 Indianapolis 500 winner Ray Harroun, who also served as general manager of the track.[3] The track's banking was at 50°, and as a result, cars had to drive at a speed of {{convert|110|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} in order to remain on the track without sliding off.[2] In comparison, the Daytona International Speedway's banking is 32°.[5] Because of the speed the track's configuration produced, the track was considered as the fastest in the world.[4]

The track held only one event, the Carl G. Fisher Trophy in the 1926 AAA Championship Car season. The race was 240 laps and {{convert|300|mi|km|abbr=on}}, and was held on February 22, 1926 with a crowd of 20,000.[5] The race's official starter was Barney Oldfield.[6] The pole position was won by Tommy Milton with a lap speed of {{convert|142.93|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, while the race was won by 1925 Indianapolis 500 winner Peter DePaolo, with Harry Hartz finishing second, less than a minute behind. Out of the 19 cars competing, only six finished the race.[7] On September 17, 1926, the track was destroyed by the Great Miami Hurricane; the lumber that comprised the track's surface was scattered across the neighborhood, and was later, after being recovered, used by the city for reconstruction.[8][9][10] After its destruction, the area was taken over by the Presidential County Club.[11] South Florida did not have a major auto race again until 1983, when the Grand Prix of Miami was held on a street circuit in downtown Miami. Two years later, open wheel racing returned when CART used a street course at Tamiami Park for their season finale, the Beatrice Indy Challenge.[12]
