This article was originally published in the May 30, 1911 Indianapolis Sun. This is a nice article that provides a quick overview of star drivers competeing in the first Indianapolis 500. I noted that Cole Team cars of "Farmer" Bill Endicott and Johnny Jenkins were green, a color that would eventually become the subject of superstition.
