This untitled film footage was shot by an amateur photographer at the North Carolina State Fair sometime during the 1940s. It shows animal acts, car races, stunt driving, the midway with burlesque shows, and other fair events. The North Carolina State Archives, part of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, has both VHS video and digital copies of this footage available to the public.

There may be people driving their cars who are not participants – we should not do any offense to them. Doing so, we will get fined. Also, there is no need of going at top speeds. Participants have been fined earlier for increasing the speeds as well. So, we should just drive the way we usually drive. This is not a race. This is just a rally. All you have to do is – just drive without increasing the speed more than a certain level and without doing type of harm to other participants and non participants. And if you are able to drive in such a manner and get out of the rally, then you would a winner for sure. In the rally, you will have to drive across countries, and sometimes you might get caught by the police if you do any harms to the public or to other people who are driving along with you on the road. So, just concentrate on your driving and try to get out of the rally the best possible manner you can.

The people behind the rally try to control everything and always emphasize that it is a rally and not a race. But some people don’t care about such things and they  just take it as a street race.
