  Title: Peoria Automobile Club
  Passage: Shore Acres Park Clubhouse (known by its former name, the Peoria Automobile Club) is the central feature of Shore Acres Park in Chillicothe, Illinois.  The site of the clubhouse, which is located on the Illinois River, was originally part of Columbia Park, a Chillicothe city park established in 1890.  In 1911, the Peoria Automobile Club was formed as a social and recreational organization for the automobile owners of Peoria and the surrounding cities; the club soon purchased the park from the city.  The club built their clubhouse at the park in 1915; Peoria architects Hotchkiss & Harris provided its Classical Revival design.  One of the club's main functions was to advocate for improved roads in Peoria and Central Illinois; in particular, they advocated for a route from Peoria to Chicago that would pass their clubhouse.  The 1918 State Bond Issue, which established Illinois' state highway system, provided funding for this route, which became known as Illinois Route 29.

  Passage: The 1909 AAA Championship Car season consisted of 24 races, beginning in Portland, Oregon on June 12 and concluding with a point-to-point race from Los Angeles, California to Phoenix, Arizona on November 6.  There were three events sanctioned by the Automobile Club of America in Lowell, Massachusetts.  The de facto National Champion as poled by the American automobile journal Motor Age was Bert Dingley.  Points were not awarded by the AAA Contest Board during the 1909 season.  Champions of the day were decided by Chris G. Sinsabaugh, an editor at Motor Age, based on merit and on track performance.
