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 is a poor quality image of Wright Brothers star pilot Walter Brookins flying among the clouds at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the track's only airplane show the week of June 13, 1910. Brookins starred, setting new altitude records.
