Derby Racer
Derby Racer was the name of two wooden roller coasters that operated at Revere Beach in Revere, Massachusetts. The first coaster was built in 1911〔(RCDB listing for 1911 Derby Racer )〕 and demolished in 1936. The second coaster of the same name was built in 1937 and demolished in 1948.〔(RCDB listing for 1937 Derby Racer )〕 Both coasters were racing roller coasters, with side-by-side track pairs where two coaster trains would race each other around the circuit of the coaster.
==1911 Coaster==
The first Derby Racer coaster at Revere Beach was built in 1911 by Fred W. Pearce 〔(Fred W. Pearce )〕 for a cost of $140,000.〔 Derby Racer's racing coaster design was a popular type of roller coaster in the first two decades of the 20th century; more than one quarter of all the racing coasters ever built were constructed in the 1900s and 1910s.〔(RCDB list of racing coasters )〕 The twin tracks of the Derby Racer were laid out in a figure 8 design. Many years later, Pearce claimed that when the coaster was constructed in 1911, Derby Racer had been the second-largest roller coaster ever built.〔 The owners of Derby Racer, Lewis Bopp and Lewis Trask also owned a restaurant that stood next to the coaster, as well as other attractions on Revere Beach.〔
