This is an 8x10 glossy photo from the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911. This is not a print it is a photo. In the photo is #5 Louis Disbrow, #8 Joe Jagersburger & #9 Will Jones. Ray Harroun in the # 32 Marmon Wasp won the race.
Hey Neighbor *waves*. Now you might think I'm partial to this photo because I live close enough to the track that I can hear the cars when ever they are out running laps, but seriously, fan of racing or not, this is way wicked cool!!! Thank you for sharing and I will see you in a lil' over a month for the big 100 year anniversary kick off celebration at IMS! I'll be with my twin sister and we'll be the ones in the hats and sunglasses...ahh the smell of suntan lotion and burning rubber...gotta love it!!!
I will be a the coke stage with a beer in hand!!!!!!
