Oldfield Sets Record on Final Day of May 1910 Meet

This is a nice collection of articles that summarizes the final day of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's May 1910 race meet. Highlights include Barney Oldfield's record setting run in the Lightning Benz (aka Blitzen Benz) as well as Johnny Aitken's record run in his National. The article provides a summary table and a note about how the event ended by 5 p.m., helping people get home at a reasonable hour, despite the congested roadways. Keep in mind thousands of people arrived by horse or a horse drawn conveyance.
