The 108th running of the is just 35 days away. The only top-4 finish for car #35 was in 1922, when JIMMY MURPHY won the race from the pole. Murphy was originally thought to have led every lap. He did lead the first 74 laps, the 3rd-longest such stretch in race history.

The quiet before the 1911 .

Think about these things from back then.

1. How did you get to the track?
2. What did you eat there?
3. What did you wear?
4. The thrill of 40 race cars.
5. Reading about the race in next day in the newspaper.
6. You saw Ray Harroun!
