I came across this interesting blog site with a plethora of racing, car and motorcycle images. Here is the publisher's nice collection of images behind the scenes of the making of the movie, Le Mans, which starred part time racer and full time enthusiast Steve McQueen.

Interesting note on how the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is partnering with Indiana University to preserve deteriorating images of the Speedway's fantastic history.

This video is a nice mix of top drawer auto racing clips from the 1930's and 1940's. You'll see sports cars, open-wheel grand prix racers (pre-Formula 1 in 1950) and clips from the Indianapolis 500.

I believe this video is a highlight reel from the 1920 Indianapolis 500. Note Bennett Hill spinning and hitting the inside wall at either turn two or four in Frontenac #7. This is significant because his teammate Gaston Chevrolet later won the race in a sister car.

Circa 1935, a great vintage sprint car racing film. Really, amazing stuff.

This is well worth a read: an article on Art Bisch, a not-so-well driver who enjoyed success on the Milwaukee Mile.
