Those 9 minutes of the 1911 race are more exciting than any race at the speedway under the Tony George era...

Think of all the dust going though the air intake! Remember, this is before the days of air cleaners.....I would think the rings were well laped by the end of the race plus some. That's a good un Pete. Thanks fer postin. Dandy Dave!

Dear Peter:
Where do you get this movie and some of the photos you post? Sure is a great piece!
It also shows why it quickly became "The Brickyard". Those guys in the last row were driving BLIND! Also, think about the poor guys trying to keep the lap and position records! That would be a toughie!
Regards, Dave Corbin

Anyone know what the "Pacemaker" (or pace car) was in the race?
