Auto Racing History
Auto racing historians and
journalists will find this Web site a gold mine.
This is the best collection of pre-World War I
American oval track auto racing research in the
world. This site is chock full of volumes of
material about the earliest oval horse track
races, and, of course, the seminal races at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As a bonus, there's
some great road racing content as well, such as
original articles about the brutally hot first
French Grand Prix in 1906. Here's a quick overview
of what you'll find:
- Hundreds of 90 to 100+ year-old
first-hand account articles.
- Entire books written by people
from the era scanned in PDF format.
- Compelling scanned images lifted
from the articles – some examples are on this
page.
- Pen and ink artwork you can use as
free clip art
- Original articles by me, Mark Dill
