Racing With Peerless

Man has always raced what ever he could get his hands on. Someone always wanted to be the fastest. As soon as the horseless carriage came on the scene men were racing them. Many automobile pioneers started by racing their machines and this gave them National recognition, Peerless being one of them.

The first 2-cylinder Peerless was introduced by the factory at the Brighton Beach races and did quite well. Racing was good publicity and could prove the durability of their machines. Louis Mooers was hired in July of 1902 and built a 40-HP 4-cylinder T head race car.

“Superintendent Mooers of the Peerless Mfg. Co., who paid a fine of $25 for scorching, recently was again reported a day ago as breaking the speed ordinance in Cleveland.”
