hawthorne racetrack Cicero, Ill. 1910

Any idea the date and location of this photo?? I am reading Herbert Wagner's excellent and informative book "At The Creation", and this photo looks like it could fall right into the storyline!
Incidentally, I believe this photo is reversed. If you use a photo-editing software and flip it horizontally, suddenly the writing becomes legible. It appears to have a date of 1910 or 1911 (was written over) and 'perhaps' the words "Motor Cycling, Hammond (?)"

Here, see what you think:
