Autocourse Official History of the Indianapolis 500

To celebrate the 90th running of this legendary race, this lavish and comprehensive history presents nine decades on the legends and races at the "Brickyard." Almost every aspect of the world's most famous of open-wheel races on the 2.5 mile oval (then paved with some 3.2 million bricks) to its evolution into today's super speedway with state of the art facilities and cars. A myriad of stories tell of the race's triumph and tragedy, featuring a host of great names from the first winner Ray Harroun to Sam Hornish, the 2006 recipient of the Borg Warner Trophy. A must for the serious racing fan and a testament to the greatest of American races.Davidson, Donald is the author of 'Autocourse Official History of the Indianapolis 500 ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781905334209 and ISBN 1905334206.
