American Pacing Classic var ett årligt passgångslopp för amerikanskfödda travare som kördes på tre olika banor i Kalifornien mellan 1955 och 1981. Finalloppet kördes på Hollywood Park Racetrack i Inglewood i Kalifornien.[1] Loppet kördes inledningsvis över distansen 1609 meter med autostart (1955–1960) men utökades sedan till distansen 1 811 meter med autostart (1961–1981).[2]
American Pacing Classic ersatte loppet Golden West Pace som hade körts mellan 1946 och 1954 på både Santa Anita Park och Hollywood Park.[3] Loppet kördes samtidigt som American Trotting Classic för travare.
