Earl Kiser Portrait

Earl Kiser was one of America's early professional auto racing drivers and a chief rival to his much more well-known contemporary, Barney Oldfield. Kiser succeeded Oldfield on Alexander Winton's Bullet II race car when Barney and Winton had a falling out. Kiser was also a colleague of Indianapolis Motor Speedway founder Carl Fisher.

This collection is more material from Barney Oldfield's personal scrapbook. It mingles articles on the new board track at Playa Del Rey in Los Angeles and the world land speed record trials in Daytona Beach. This includes a decent image of Oldfield's "Lightning Benz." These articles were published in March and April 1910.
