Thought some of these might be interesting to folks around here. If you are a race fan, there is absolutely NO better way to spend $3 than taking a couple hours at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame and Museum.

Actually, this one is the 1922 winner. It also won the 1921 French Grand Prix at LeMans. The car that won in 1925, which also won in 1927 with George Souders at the wheel, is owned by a private collector somewhere else.
