J. Frank Duryea, who was born on this day in 1869, with his brother Charles, built and operated the first automobile in the U.S. He also won America's first automobile race. If you could participate in any type of race what would it be and why? Would it be on land, in the water, in the air or a combination?

If I were to participate in a race, it would be a foot race because I like to run. I am pretty quick and I consider myself a good runner. In general though I do not really want to race right now, but I might to track in the future.
