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 contribution from Wayne Carroll Petersen was an exchange between Barney Oldfield and Petersen's uncle, Harry Boyle. The post card is post-marked 1912. Note Oldfield's trademark salutation, "You Know Me," just before his signature.
