The caption written on the photograph says "500-mile race, Indianapolis" -- was it not being called the "Indianapolis 500" yet?

You make a good point, Lu, thank you. The present title is better placed with the tags. We will revise the title to match the caption next time we update the record. Additionally, the caption provides the exact date.

More than I expected :) I really didn't know! I do suspect it's tough to find the point at which tag/etc. info is narrow enough to be accurate but still broad enough to be searchable.

Wikipedia says that Gil Anderson ranked 16th (but did not finish) in the 1912 Indianapolis 500 when his Stutz race car (pictured above) crashed on turn three. Reference: Wikipedia: 1912 Indianapolis 500

I looked at that Wikipedia article, and it said that the fastest car went 88 mph. Can you imagine going 88 in one of these cars?

Wikipedia's caption on the photo says this:
This is a photo of driver Mel Marquette's wrecked McFarlan racing car at the 1912 Indianapolis 500. Marquette finished 19th in the race, two places ahead of Eddie Rickenbacker, who was put out of the race with a broken intake valve.
