Bob Burman's car after accident - Indianapolis (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• S Jones said:

  Wikipedia says that Bob Burman ranked 12th (but did not finish) in the 1912 Indianapolis 500 when his Cutting race car (pictured above) crashed on turn two. Reference: Wikipedia: 1912 Indianapolis 500

• Zippy Money said:

  Great old picture!

• hrenrick said:

  Keep in mind that when that photo was taken the car was the latest in race car design.

Goux Wins, Indianapolis, 1913 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Burgonia said:

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Automobiles françaises des années 10 (1910 à 1919), and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• B-59 said:

  Jules Goux (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Goux)

• Jon (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks B-59 for the additional information about Jules Goux. We'll add his first name to the catalog record. If the date listed on the negative is correct, this shows Goux winning the Indianapolis 500 in 1913.

500 mile race, Indianapolis (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Lú_ said:

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

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  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.

• Lú_ said:

  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.
