Culver City Inaugural Coverage - The_Los_Angeles_Times_Mon__Dec_15__1924
Here's the local LA Times writeup for the Inaugural Event held in Dec 1924.
The 1924 AAA Season saw the last race (Feb) to be held at the wonderful Beverly Hills Track and the first at its replacement. Benny Hill won the inaugural in the former Miller House Car built in the Fall of 1923 for Argentinian playboy Martin de Alzaga who ran out of cash and rich American socialites and so Miller put Benny Hill in the seat with great success. (Michael Ferner) After a good finish in the car at Indy 1924 Miller decided to give in and installed the first ever SC in a Miller 122 in the car (Mark Dees) Hill went out and immediately won the Culver City Inaugural. On a sad side note the Hill win sealed the deal for the deceased Jimmy Murphy who was posthumously awarded the 1924 AAA Driving Championship.
