Pre-Indy 500 Races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Feb 2017 - I created this Web Site twenty years ago.  I
would never have guessed then that I would continue
working on it for this long.  It's been a labor of love and I
now would not be surprised if I work on it for another
twenty years.

As my site has expanded, naturally I've added historical
details.  Sometimes a reader disagrees with some minor
point, offers no proof, and I am forced to do further
research to see if I can get to the truth of the matter.

One thing I've learned is that often the information in old
racing magazines, the newspapers and old racing books
disagree with one another.

I have done a lot of research on these new web pages
concerning the 1909-1910 races at the Speedway.

Not only have I read every article about the races in the
local newspapers from 1909 and 1910, I have accessed
other newspapers and  "The Horseless Age" magazines.

Details sometimes vary, such as the spelling of a name.
When I have come across variances in information, I have
strove to choose the most likely correct version.

I think the research I've performed is complete and since
I've done it all at once, it is all currently in my head and I
have a very good grasp on what went on a hundred years
ago.  Therefor I do not want e-mails disputing the infor-
mation on these pages years from now.

However, if you have some verified new information or
photos you would like to share, feel free.

Thanks for understanding.

P.S. Wikipedia is full of wrong information about these
races.
