auto racing history

Ken Parrotte, a major league auto racing history aficionado, contacted me and, among other things, flagged a marvelous on-line research resource. This is a collection of New York newspapers (they claim a total of 11,266,000 newspaper pages) dating back over 100 years. The man who pulled this database-driven site is not an auto racing buff, but a general history enthusiast. However, if you search for keywords related to auto racing, a lot of stuff will pop up.
