That is it...Ray Harroun won it that car averaging 74mph. Doesn't sound fast, but think about driving that thing for 500 miles at speed and it is pretty amazing.....in 1911! I kinda remember it taking 6 hours to complete the race. I just sent a bunch of pics to NovaBoy. I hope they get posted so you can see....it is pretty cool!
