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?

Depalma & his mechanic led the 1912 Indy 500 for 196 of it's 200 laps. Their Mercedes cracked a piston on the fourth turn of the final lap. They jumped out of the car & pushed it across the finish line. However, they lost the race to Joe Dawson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_Indianapolis_500 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_DePalma
