    Wow! Jack Tower (3rd from left) is my Grandfather! I have some pics from his races (and one of a crash at Indy), but I have never seen this one. He raced in the 1911 Indy 500. The results: Fin: 24, St: 23, Car No. 26, Jackson Automobile, He also raced in the 1913 Indy 500. The results: Fin: 19, St: 25, Car No. 6, Mason Motor: Duesenberg. He crashed and a broken leg. His mechanic (the mechanic rode in the car as well in those days) had broke ribs and internal injuries. I was told he later died, but I'm not sure. My mother told me he set a speed record in one of the time trials, but I don't have that info. Anyway, my Grandfather raced, worked with many car companies, and did a test drive across the country at one point. He designed some car features. He also wrote poetry, stories, lyrics, and a bit of music. He must have been a very interesting man. He passed away, however, before I was born so I never had the pleasure of knowing him. Wonderful surprise to come across this photo.
