Barney Oldfield Images

Images from Barney Oldfield's racing career. Many of these are items collected from photocopies of newspapers preserved on microfilm. Many of the original photos have been lost to the ages, so some of these images rescued in this manner may be all that remains. While the quality is inferior by today's standards, they still provide interesting information about Oldfield and the events he participated in.

This is a photo of Barney Oldfield at Ormond Beach in March 1910. Oldfield, frustrated by criticisms of his "staged" barnstorming tours, wanted to assert that he was a world-class racer.
