The Electric Automobile ride, also known as the Racing Autos and Mechanical Autos, was a Custer Car track installed at Olentangy Park in 1911.
Custer Cars were battery operated miniature cars invented by Levitt Custer for amusement parks in 1925. A unique feature of these cars was that its transmission required the driver to move the steering handle forward and backward to move the car in the desired direction.[1]
