By 1914 Ford had 48% of the US market share. That's because they were cheap and could be repaired with baling wire and chewing gum. But with so many people owning Fords, and men being boys, racing was bound to occur in a run-what-you-brung manor. But some of the men/boys were tired of losing to rich peoples cars with a lot more power.
Capitol Engine works primary business was converting airplane engines for boats, but they would put some pep in your Ford if you could A-Ford it.
