Also in 1924, from Bloomberg.com concerning Honda's founder:

"...Founder Soichiro Honda set the tone for his company's technical innovations and competitive zest. An auto repair shop owner, Honda won Japan's fifth nationwide auto race in 1924 by fitting a biplane engine onto a chassis built by Mitchell Motor Car Co. of Racine, Wisconsin."
