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] References1. ^{{cite news|last=Brioso|first=Cesar|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1999-11-11/sports/9911070569_1_hialeah-speedway-track-montgomery-speedway|title=Blazing An Early Career Path|newspaper=Sun-Sentinel|location=Fort Lauderdale, Florida|date=1999-11-11|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&s_site=miami&p_multi=MH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=11590A1A72DAD838&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|title=Forgotten racetrack set the pace|date=2006-11-20|work=The Miami Herald|page=1B|accessdate=2013-08-25|location=Miami, Florida}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Davidson|first1=Donald|last2=Schaffer|first2=Rick|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CeCxyf0BpgUC&pg=PA63&dq=fulford-miami+speedway&hl=en&sa=X&ei=QhQVUrvnKsSbygHDtYDIAQ&ved=0CEMQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=fulford-miami%20speedway&f=false|title=Autocourse Official History of the Indianapolis 500|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1928&dat=19251126&id=w6sgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=aWkFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3511,4375666|title=Foremost Drivers In Florida Race|newspaper=The Lewiston Daily Sun|location=Lewiston, Maine|date=1925-11-26|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.citynmb.com/index.asp?SEC=%7B940536F0-DEED-4110-8BCC-F9503851CDF3%7D|title=Our History|work=City of North Miami Beach|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.citynmb.com/index.asp?SEC=%7BEAE02472-475F-463D-BBF8-B6DF1FBE20F1%7D|title=Images of Fulford Speedway|work=City of North Miami Beach|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sfmreport.com/untitled1.html|title=Fulford-Miami Speedway|work=South Florida Motorsports Report|date=2006-10-30|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 8. ^{{cite web|last=Bosch|first=Miguel|url=http://www.motorracingblog.nl/?p=8668|title=Voorbeschouwing Homestead-Miami Indy 300|publisher=Motor Racing blog|date=2010-09-30|accessdate=2013-08-21}} (in Dutch) 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/late-1920s-the-remains-of-fulford-miami-speedway-after-it-news-photo/153801209|title=Fulford-Miami Speedway - Post Hurricane|work=Getty Images|date=1927-01-11|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/miamiful.html|title=Miami-Fulford Speedway|work=Silhouet|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.na-motorsports.com/Tracks/FL/MiamiFulford.html|title=Miami-Fulford Speedway|work=NA-Motorsports|accessdate=2013-08-21}} 12. ^{{cite news|last=Harris|first=Mike|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=886&dat=19930228&id=O6FSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rn0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=4667,4272089|title=IndyCar back in Miami? more on Daytona 500|newspaper=The Prescott Courier|location=Prescott, Arizona|date=1993-02-18|accessdate=2013-08-21}} External links
