This one-of-a-kind, 1930 classic continues to be a Kennywood favorite! Often considered a transition ride for children who are outgrowing Kiddieland, the Auto Race consists of electrically powered cars traveling along a winding, circular wooden track. Parents are permitted to be the back seat drivers.

The Auto Race, also known by several veterans as the Auto Ride, is also the last of its kind. Electric cars run quite quickly through a trough-like track that twists and turns, almost like a maze. There used to be several small hills placed in the track, but were removed due to rear-end collisions caused when cars couldn't get up and over them on rainy days.
