Does anybody knows what was the first steel coaster ever made and by who.

They have dated back to the 40's and 50's with old Schiff Wild Mouses and Bradley & Kaye Little Dippers.

I remember riding the bobsleds. I dont remember it being a racing coaster though.

Technically they do race (very technical sense), but they are mirror image tracks, you never see the other train as you go along (exept in one or 2 places). So it's not a racing coaster, its just 2 tracks with identical mirror image layouts which happen to dispatch at the same time for thematic purposes (when you pass another train during the ride)
