Image of The Week
This is a PDF artifact of the front page from a special Sunday edition of the Indianapolis Star that touted the excitement of the upcoming first automobile races at the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The date was August 15, 1909.
I include this as a tool to further analyze the cover of this important automobile section. A jpeg image with an index to the contents of this section can be found elsewhere on First Super Speedway.
