1928 Ford Model A Speedster at the race in Bennington
The race is modeled on the 1908 Great Race from New York to Paris, immortalized in a 1965 comedy with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
This year it started in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The winner isn't the first car to cross the finish line, but instead it's the car that scores best on series of speed and navigation instructions.
