Interesting. Another more well known race between a Winton and a ~1902
Oldsmobile has always been considered the race that gave birth to Nascar
and other racing at Ormond Beach near Daytona. As it turned out the Olds
got the jump (bracket racing if you will) on the faster Winton. It was a
close finish which became a big deal at the time:

Here are 2 Oldsmobiles my father has. He puts a couple hundred miles a
year on these each year in different events:

Same car as was raced except the car of the race has no body.
