I just uploaded a great article that captures the speed predictions of each of the starting drivers in the first Indianapolis 500. Each was asked what speed average would be required to win the historic race. Articles like these are a treasure as they introduce the voice of the drivers and puts the reader in touch with them in a more direct fashion than reading through the filter of a reporter, or, even more removed, the POV of a historian capturing his or her thoughts in a book or paper. The article was published May 28, 1911 in the Indianapolis Star.
