Some early images from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Ray Harroun Checks his Rear View Mirror

This is an image of a 31-year-old Ray Harroun, first winner of the Indianapolis 500 in his Marmon Wasp as he checks his rearview mirror. Many say this was the first use of such a device on a car. I doubt it as I have read accounts of other examples even dating back to horse carriages.
