| Description |
English: 1913 was the last year of the dirt track at the Tacoma Speedway. The following year would see the construction of a planked track utilizing 2 x 4 Washington fir. Three sanctioned events in July 1914 with a total prize money of $10,500 brought many local and nationally known speed kings to town including Californian Billy Carlson and his #25 car, a Maxwell, and "Terrible Teddy" Tetzlaff and his #3 Maxwell, replacing the older Fiat he had once driven to victory. Mr. Carlson's Maxwell came directly from the Indy 500 and ran on kerosene. Neither Mr. Carlson or Mr. Tetzlaff would enjoy winning success at the Tacoma Speedway in 1914. Billy Carlson died due to an accident at the Speedway the following year when his vehicle blew a tire, tossing him and his mechanic, Paul Franzer, into the air. Mr. Franzer died immediately but Mr. Carlson lingered until early the next day. TPL-1637 |
