RE: I Love big engines and classic cars

Old race cars are great. I was recently reading about the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911, where the winner's average speed was about 74.6 mph and the driver had an innovative rear-view mirror.

Not a bad speed. My next post will be on a 1903 car that did 73mph. I think i have a photo of one of those early Indy cars. Thanks for commenting.
