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 had the choice I wouldn't participate in any type of race, but if I absolutely had to choose I would choose to be in an airplane race or obstacle course. Planes have a smaller chance of running into anything. I would prefer it to stay in the air but I would be okay if it had a little bit of water included.
