This is a two-part series of articles that ran in the Saturday Evening Post in 1925. They are an autobiographical overview Oldfield wrote with the assistance of William Sturm. I judge some of this material to be inaccurate, not because Oldfield embellished (not that I put it past him), but because I think he simply forgot things.
I found a good link on Arthur Rayner (A.R.) Pardington who was, among other things, the referee of the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. This role was essentially the chief steward of the race. Pardington was known as a workaholic even compromising his health with long hours and stress.
