Learn about how the club was formed at the home of Charles Wyatt on Lexington Avenue in Indianapolis during October 1907. The offices of the club in 1909 were located at 444 West Vermont Street.
 
Another article descibes how Wyatt and the club helped organize such support events as the big endurance run between Cleveland and Indianapolis.

These include Merkel, Excelsior, Reliance, Indian, Thor, N.S.U., Yale, Reading-Standard and Pierce.
 
Really, a nice piece of history contained here.
