The GreatRace has been around for quite a few years. It started as a 60's movie with Tony Curtiss & Natalie Wood starring, ...and then Tom McRae and the CEO of Interstate Batteries teamed up in the early 80s and hosted the cross-country trek which is more of a Time/Speed/Distance Rally than an actual race. My family & I were fortunate to have been involved in the GreatRace for about 5 years beginning in 1997 with the Sonoma to Jacksonville event. My father & I even won the Iron Horse Rally in our '31 Phaeton pictured below.
