On September 4, 1914, Lincoln Beachey raced his biplane around the Iowa State Fair racetrack against a Duesenberg auto driven by Eddie Rickenbacker, who later became a WWI Flying Ace. Beachey, flying as close as 10 feet to Rickenbacker's auto, agreed to circle the track four times to Rickenbacker's three, giving him a head start of one lap. Rickenbacker won the race. His three laps were clocked at 1:45 4/5, Beachey's four laps were clocked at 1:50. His airplane was a Beachey-Eaton Pusher powered by a Gnome 80 hp Engine.

If you ever get the chance to read Eddie Rickenbacker's autobiography, it is fascinating reading.

wow... this would have been a spectacular sight for the crowd since aircraft and even motorcars were still in their infancy... it still would be but i dont think modern safety regulations would allow such a showdown haha...
